Classic to me comes in many different forms. The first type of classic is what I call media classic. It is something in the media that is timeless, such as a celebrity, television show, film, photograph, painting etc. I believe Marilyn Monroe is a "classic" example of a media classic. She lived long ago, but her popularity and originality has kept her alive. No one to this very day has compared to her, as she is iconic in her era. Another type of classic I came up with is bias classic. Sometimes I believe people like other things (such as books or films) because the majority of the population does. You want to fit in, and you make yourself like the topic to make it seem like you are involved. The third type of classic is Iconic Literature classic. I call this type Iconic Literature because it is truly a work of art. It is a story that has alot of enduring qualities, such as relatable characters, out-of-this-world characteristics, and a good storyline.


The novel I just finished reading was "The tales of Beetle and Bard", by J.K. Rowling. It is a book available for purchase in Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, and is featured in the 7th film. It is a collection of wizarding stories and fables. I believe this book to be a classic. It has characters and stories that intrigue you, unrealistic superhuman events (as it is a Harry Potter book, involved magic),  and it is quite good quality! I think it is also a classic because it is part of the HP franchise, which makes it classic right there, and faitfull readers will eat up this book. Future generations of students should continue to read this book because it is a great story, and it makes you feel like you are part of the magical world. Honestly, I think Harry Potter will never grow old, so this will be passed down with the series for ever and always.
