5.Classic?????
A classic book isn't decided by a single person or even a group of people. Something is considered a "classic" when it is appreciated the way it's was originally intended to. What I mean by "intended to" is that something can't be classic if it endures purely because people thought it was funny because of how bad it is. Beethoven made music that's considered classic (not to be confused with the genre which is classical). People laugh at snl and skits like the schweddy balls skit because it's supposed to be laughed at and is called a "classic" because of it. People don't laugh at Mozart's music because it's not supposed to be laughed at, but it's considered classic.

That was a great connection between the two types of "classic"! I totally agree that something might be classic if it is funny but then something like Mozart of Beethoven is considered classic as well. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou make many typos so you should make sure to spellcheck your posts before publishing. I think you could have used videos of the SNL skit and of some of Mozart's music to enhance what you were saying.
