Indledning
“Aggro” is a novel written in 1970 by Canadian author James Moffat, under the pseudonym Richard Allen. This excerpt from the novel is shown from a third person point of view.
The word ‘aggro’ is very fitting for the story, as it is a 1960’s abbreviation for aggression, and is used when describing aggressive and violent behaviour.
The story follows the young Joe Hawkins in London, England. He has a lot of anger and hate in him, which, as the title gives away, is also the theme of the story, along with poverty.

Uddrag
The family lives in lower class London, The Cockney, and speak with accents. Clear examples of these are: “I ain’t got it”7 and “I’m not askin’ a second time.”8
Where the words are shortened, and not used in the right way grammatically. There is a lot of violent behaviour in the story.
Both in the form of his mother slapping him, but also in the way Joe behaves. How he carries a self-made cosh, a thick, heavy stick/bar used as weapon9 , and how he wishes he could use it on his own mother.
