Daisy Jones/Carrie Soto 2
Do you believe in 100 years, this novel will be considered a "classic"? Will it stand the test of time and be something that students will be reading in an English class of the future? Why or why not?

I don't personally think this will be a classic, even though it is a great book. I can't see future English classes reading this because the themes of drugs, sex, etc. I do predict that it will stand the test of time and be read in the future because it does a great job of capturing the American attitude in the 70s as well as touching on music history. Plus, the popularity it has gained today increases the chances of it continuing to be read. Most importantly, I think the writing itself is good enough to make this novel well-liked into the future.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that this book will be a classic. The book is too inappropriate for an English class to read since the book is based off of drugs and sex. I do think people will still read this book in the future because Daisy Jones has a show on prime and has gained a lot of popularity since. This is a book I think everyone should read at least once.
ReplyDeleteWhilst a great contemporary novel, I don't think this has what it needs to be considered a classic. While the themes it touches on are powerful, it doesn't necessarily bring a revolutionary new viewpoint to them. Furthermore, the writing style might put some readers off if they don't desire to read an oral history. This book would not be read in English for the powerful themes mentioned previously: drugs, sex, addiction, and even abortion in the last parts of the book.
ReplyDeleteI agreed the themes are very powerful but it doesn't have what it needs to be a classic novel.
DeleteIt's a wonderful book but I do not believe it will become a classic. I don't see English classes in the future reading it because it doesn't really have subjects that can be used in a classroom, its also not a very appropriate book. It definitely has sensitive subjects, a lot of the book the two main characters abused drugs very badly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sensitive subjects many people may be triggered buy what the characters go through as some may have a hard connection to this.
DeleteI think the time and setting of the book is already almost already makes it feel like a classic, like if this was a real band and I was reading in from this point of view. But i doubt it will be considered a classic in 100 years just because theres always going to be a book about a band. Also it doesnt have a very good take away key point like i feel like its just a good read. Especially with school book laws now like changing im not sure if theyll let kids read about drugs and sex in books like they do now.
ReplyDeleteProbably would not expect this to be considered a classic in 100 years. It follows the career of a tennis player. I mean it teaches a good lesson about working hard and moving past your losses but I feel like that is not relevant in English class. When I think of classic novels I do not think of sports books. It was a great book but I feel it just does not fit the category.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you said that sports books would not fit in the same category as classic novels. Although it teaches good lessons, it is just not relevant to an English class.
DeleteI don't think Carrie Soto is back will be a classic. Although it is a really good book, I don't think it has what it needs to be a classic. The lessons in it like, never give up and chase your dreams, are very powerful but I don't think those types of themes are really relevant to what you usually read in todays English class. I personally don't think this book has the right themes to make it a classic and be read in English classes for the next 100 years.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone, but it just does not have the potential to be a classic. It does have good lessons but I agree it just is not relevant to what is usually read in English classes today.
DeleteI feel since it's already based around the past far enough everyone in that generation is an adult it won't be remembered as a classic as our generation can't relate as closely too it and it'll probably be one of those hidden reads that you randomly find and either forget when your done or remember and keep it as like a little safe space for yourself but not a like world wide classic.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I definitely tink this book would be one to where if you find yourself reading it, you will remember it forever. I feel like all the passion and how real the book felt will always have me remembering parts of it.
DeleteI feel as this book was really good read, it will not stand 100 years. I feel reading this in an English class it won't happen because of the drug abuse and even today we don't really act how they acted in this book is how we act today. I feel like since this book has already been popular after years of it being published it will eventually die down, but people would still enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWhile the book was pretty intriguing, I personally don't think it will be a classic. I think for a book to be a classic it needs to have more of a message, even though the book told a story, it didn't have a message. I did really enjoy it, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this book will become a classic. Although this book was very well written and it had a good message I fell like it doesn't have all the things to make it a classic. The band is already old and I think it would have been a good book when people still knew Daisy Jones and the six but I didn't even know who band was until I read it. I think that this will always be a good read but I don't think people will read it for school classes or anything.
ReplyDeleteI don' t think this book will become a classic. I really liked it but i felt like it wouldn't really be something you would read in an english class. I felt like it did really have much of a message to learn, and some people may not enjoy it, I did enjoy this book though
ReplyDeletei dont think it will only because it is such an old book already and not may people would want to read it even though it is a great book. i don't think there was a message i feel like it was a read it just because type of book.
ReplyDeletei don't think this book will be counted as a classic because it's not something people would study to understand past experiences. Not everyone becomes super rich and famous or relate to the issues Daisy and Billy go through with their addictions. It isn't really a relatable book like most classics are.
ReplyDeleteI do not think this book will be a classic. All though this is a very good book i don't think the context in the book will be something English classes will read. I think in English classes teachers would not want students reading about how much daisy and the other band members struggled so much with drugs and alcohol.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinions Daisy jones will not be considered a classic. To me a classic is a meaningful book. I felt that this was not a good book, I don't feel that all classics are great i just feel they all have a similar feel that this book just didn't give to me.
