"The old veck began to make sort of chumbling shrooms-'wuf waf wof'-so Georgie let go of holding his goobers apart and just let him have one in the toothless rot with his ringy fist, and that made the old veck start moaning a lot then, then out comes the blood, my brothers, real beautiful."
Here, Alex is characterized as malicious, and evil. The harsh diction describing blood as beautiful shows how sick his mind really is. Also the repetition of the harsh 'b' consonant sound shows how crazy and harsh Alex is. He is sadistic, and enjoys watching other people in pain. This may be foreshadowing an inner problem Alex has with people who are educated, and like to read and write because those are the types of people he seems to enjoy picking on.
