Think back to a novel you were required to read last year. Was it classic literature or a book written for young adults? Explain your answer, listing features of the novel that help you identify it as classic or young adult literature. What themes were developed in the novel you were required to read? Would the novel's themes be considered timeless? (Are they just as relevant today as when the novel was written?) Will they be just as relevant 50 years from now? What makes the novel's themes timeless or not timeless?

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Explanation:

I will be using this as my example, however you can do this for any of the novels you read, however the answers may change!

According to relevant articles referenced in WIKI "To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. Instantly successful, widely read in high schools and middle schools in the United States, it has become a classic of modern American literature, winning the Pulitzer Prize."

Knowing the Novel's continued relevance in young adult curriculum, we are able to conclude that it is a classic in young adult literature.

The author Harper Lee did in fact aim To Kill a Mockingbird at young adults, but it holds relevance to individuals in all age groups as well.

There are many themes in To Kill a Mocking bird but here are the ones that could be considered most culturally relevant: Good vs Evil, Racism, Prejudice,  Moral complexity, Legality, ETC.

Whether or not you believe the novels themes to be timeless will reflect in your individual answer, but for the sake of explanation I will take my own stance in this I do consider the novels themes to be timeless, and that is reflecting now more than ever before. Despite the novel being written in 1960, one of its most prevalent themes is racism, which is incredibly relevant to our word to day as a nation wide movement for racial equality has seized the focus of the country. We saw a similar situation to the modern events in Minneapolis to the ones in April 29, 1992 during the LA riots. The novel rears its head into relevance during these times of turbulence to teach us all a lesson about prejudice and what we can do to prevent it. Another theme is Good in Evil, which will always be prevalent in our society as morality continues to be subjective.

trust me 100%

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
