Classics relevant today?

[Onyinyechi Orji]

Classics made me love reading books. The first time I read Oliver Twist I swore to love books.

I think many classics are relevant today such as 1984 and Animal Farm.

Every book that has a life teaching is a useful book. There are many stories that can help people cope, or invite them to reflect. That is why the classics will always be relevant. For example, in another era, mythology served to give warnings and advice to the people. Today there are many series and movies inspired by myths. If the classics weren't relevant, they wouldn't be the basis for many of our sources of entertainment and culture.

Some classics are still relevant to the society today due to their impacts in society. Some of them are still being read in school for exams and knowledge acquisition.

For now it's definitely Animal Farm by George Orwell. What makes a book a classic is its ability to remain relatable even years ahead of time. It's prophetic in a way and that for me is amazing. When I read it at school I was at an age whereby politics or whatever that happened around me did not matter to me. 15 years later now , the book is relevant and I am able to read it with a smile on my face . A face that's no longer naive.
