The title tells you exactly what to expect from the abstract but does not give away any information on what it includes.

Solution To Violence
1,309 wordsA Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess This novel is short? only being about 180 pages? but looks may deceive you, or in other words don? t judge a book buy its cover or its thickness.
