The differences in A ClockWork Orange and ESPN are mostly through the writing style and the readers. ESPN tries to reach a large demographic of sports enthusiasts and is written in very simple short sentences. The way that ESPN writers explain situations allow for readers young and old to follow along easily "Fletcher resisted any panic moves. He didn’t trade slumping Devin Setoguchi, as many Wild fans had viewed as a needed shakeup at the time. The GM didn’t do anything rash" (ESPN). Whereas the writing style of A Clockwork Orange is dark and hard for anyone to understand. The reasoning for the intense and confusing style is that the story isn't ment to be the street culture and gang life. The story is written as if you are already an insider instead of explaining what everything is. As the story goes on you learn more and more and start to slowly understand the words but as soon as you catch on the words change.
