Classic Literature That Changed My Life
Classic literature also reveals our dark history and possibly dark present in a way that whitewashed history books do not. This can be seen in books like The Scarlett Letter, which reveals the way a women’s sexuality was seen back then, or To Kill a Mockingbird, which holds the unfortunately still-present Black men struggle with the biased nature of the law. It also plays with the meaning of morality in a way that only Oscar Wilde and Ursule Le Guin know how to do. All of this is also why so many classic books are being banned in schools.
The Book Club is the new Salon (If I have anything to say about it)
In my sophomore year of college, I took an English course with a young, fiery-tongued professor; who used the class as a…place to vent his worldly frustrations, as well as an incubator for the future. We traipsed through books that could also be journalistic variations on Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. No Logo comes to mind, highlighting the plight of sweatshop and factory work.
