"But these starry avengers still came after me, panting like dying, with their animal claws all trembling to get at your friend and Humble Narrator. Then I was tripped up and was on the floor and was being kicked at, then I slooshied golosses of young vecks creeching: 'All right, all right, stop it now,' and I knew the police had arrived."
The references to animals is a common motif throughout the book, producing the theme that people really are just like animals. The diction in this passage makes it seem like Alex is completely innocent and the people attacking him are barbarians, when in reality, it is the other way around. Alex doesn't understand when people act in the same violent ways as he does, showing that he is a very hypocritical character.
