One reason classic literature is taught in high school is because of their literary themes that have withstood the test of time. While it may be hard to relate to stories of war or mythical prophecies, everyone can still relate to themes of love, coming of age, and survival (especially in high school). This is why classic literature has become such a popular sub-genre within teen movies. In this episode, Clare and Alaina discuss this sub-genre and break down which movies have become classics in their own right, and which ones may have Shakespeare rolling in his grave. While some of these movies have honored their predecessor, others extremely diverge from their source material. We also ask the hard-hitting questions, like: “Does sushi belong at a high school party?”. Come listen to us discuss this, and so much more! This is Making Sense of Movies, with Clare and Alaina.
