Classic: Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind (Google Define).
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K Rowling has the potential to become a classic. It is a part of one of the most popular book series, proving it is beyond a doubt outstanding and of high quality. However, according to the above quote it must keep that popularity, along with it's praises, in order for it to rightfully be called a classic. My copy of the book was published in 2005 and has already endured some of the time required for it to become a classic, though I personally believe that the new Deathly Hallows movie has done its fair share of work in keeping the memory of the series alive. The quote I posted does not give a specific time the book has to be kept alive, so to speak, for it to achieve this statues. Truthfully, I think that label should be given by the fans. The fans are the ones to judge the series and, therefore, are the ones most fit to call it a classic.
I think that although the work is very good, you should introduce the main idea earlier in the piece of writing. Also, it would be helpful if you added what the definition at the top was for; I wasn't sure. The main idea is that Harry Potter is a classic, but I don't know anything about that until about halfway through. Some simple rearranging will fix that. Good work! (Your use of complex sentence structure really enhances the reading, by the way.)
ReplyDeleteI think to improve your post you should maybe include the title of the blog post your writing about so that people know what they are going to read about before they even start reading. I think that the Harry Potter books are classics. I'm not convinced that they will last as long as Shakespeare has but I believe they will last for a long time. Nice work!!
