Before anything else, I want to thank everyone for supporting me and this blog in my previous post. I love you guys, and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to be friends with you. <3

And now, I know I'm a tad late to the party, but Rebellious Writing has been celebrating their two-year blogiversary all month! In case you didn't know, Rebellious Writing is a website all about promoting clean YA literature. They came up with this lovely tag that has to do with classical literature and I just—!!!!—freaked out. Now I know the party is kinda supposed to be wrapping up now, but tags are eternal, right?






Honestly, I'm not sure. I haven't done enough research on this. However, I would love to see an updated edition of A Little Princess.


I love the complexity of the plots, yet they still feel tangible and relatable. I'm also a bit of a history nerd, so that whole historical element grabs me too.


An underrated classic is a piece of classical literature that does not receive the praise that it's few fans demand it deserves.
Just kidding. Is the Little House on the Prairie series considered classical? Let's say very few children of today have ventured into the richness that is those books.


Wuthering Heights was an interesting one because I started it, thought I would love it, then ended up appalled by every element. I thought I would finish it with burning revulsion in my heart, but instead I  ended up stamping it as "Prized Literature" and now I can't stop gushing about it.


My most favorite classic is probably Persuasion because it's romantic, dreary, and so different from other classics. My least favorite is The Adventures of Tom Sawer.
I'm sorry, I have a thing for British lit.


Favorite would have to be Sara Crewe from A Little Princess. She's absolutely adorable and I wish I had been smart enough as a kid to think of her as a role model.


Gulliver's Travels? 80 Days Around the World?

Jaaaaaaaaaaaane Austen! If Emily Brontë had written more books, it would have been her. I don't think I've read enough Dickens to justify using that as an answer either, or it would be him because the BBC adaptations are literally my life force.

Classics are timeless—they're stories that enchant you over and over again, but still ring with truth wrapped in contrast. I think most classics involve story-lines exploring human nature and the struggle of discovering oneself, and that appeals to people to all ages over and over. So classical is timelessness is enchantment is just a masked reality to explore.


Well, definitely not the crap getting put out on shelves today. Many books are so shallow, and the adventures are fun, but to be a classic it has to hold something deeper for an individual to discover. Once each reader feels as if a book was written to speak to them, then it can be nominated for consideration as a class, in my opinion.

I am quite unsure who to tag, so if you are currently reading this before sundown, tag! You're it!
 

So I'm currently finishing up the first week of the semester at school, and things are heating up. I am (and I say this very proudly) finally getting my act together and I am not behind on homework. So hopefully I can carry this habit out to the end of the semester. How is school going so far for you?

Alrighty, chat me up. How have you been faring, dear reader? And what are some classics you've read and loved, or didn't love? And don't forget to wish Rebellious Writing a happy blogiversary!
