Journal 3
Alex is a very changed man since his arrest. He seems to be ina stable
mood now and is a more matured than he was before after spending
such lot of time in jail. His usage of language has also been changed.
Before, he used to curse everybody and did not respect anyone
however now he respects the officers and other people by addressing
them respectfully like sir and all. He still curses people but not as often
as he used to before. In this section he describes himself as your
humble narrator while previously he did-not specifically describe him to
be, “Your humble writer or anything like that.” He still no doubt uses
foul language but much less than he used it before.
He has learnt that he needs to respect people in order to gain respect
from others. He’s got into some religion stuff at the jail by reading
some parts of the bible. Basically he has a different attitude towards
everybody now. He now addresses himself as friends this is your
humble narrator. A lot has changed about his speech in this section as
compared to the previous sections.
