Should middle school students read classics?
As a fan of online literature, I can't give a general answer because this question depends on many factors, including personal interests, reading level, cultural background, educational plans, and so on. However, from a certain perspective, the classics were indeed very valuable to read. A classic is usually a classic literary work that contains rich ideas and artistic value. It can help readers understand human history, culture, society, and psychology. Reading these masterpieces could also improve the readers 'literary quality and language level, and promote their thinking and creativity. The classics also provided many valuable experiences and inspirations that could help readers better adapt to life and society. For example, Dream of the Red Chamber described the structure and interpersonal relationships of feudal society, which could inspire readers to think and understand social reality. The Catcher in the Rye described the growth and confusion of teenagers, which could guide readers to think about their own growth and future. Although reading classics was very important to the growth and thinking ability of the reader, it also needed to be chosen according to the reader's personal interests and needs. If you are interested in history, philosophy, literature, etc., then reading classics may be a good choice. But if you prefer light novels or pop culture works, you might be more willing to read more light books.
