What Does Classic Mean To You?

The other day, I was sorting some books for my mother when I found her favourite book when she was a kid, Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I showed it to her and asked her why she liked the book so much and she told me that the book had only been published when she was 9, but now, this book would be considered a classic. That answer got me thinking about what really is a classic. In my opinion, a classic is a novel, movie, play or anything along those lines that was made before you born and became very popular overtime. Some examples of some classics to me would be Cinderella, because of how much recognition she has had since the 1950s and how many people look up to her. Another example of a classic would be the movie Jurassic Park, made in 1993. Many girls and boys adore the movie because of the spectacular special effects they had in the 90's to make the dinosaurs actually come to life. To me, a classic is anything that has been around for years and hasn't been forgotten.

Never Always Sometimes

In the book I'm reading now, Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid, and in my book there are two protagonists, Dave and Julia. Both Julia and Dave are in their last year of school and have stayed to baking cupcakes and watching a good movie rather than go out to a raging party. Many people have mistaken them as a couple because on how close they are. The twist is, Dave likes Julia and he doesn't want to ruin the friendship. As for Julia, she has no clue about Dave liking her and she just thinks Dave is still her "best friend." Dave doesn't know what to do. Should he tell her about how he feels? Or keep it to himself? As for Julia, how does she feel about Dave? Have they been missing out on love, or will their friendship be ruined forever?
