Lately in PLP we have been reading a play called The Crucible. It’s set in Salem Massachusetts  in the 1690’s but was written by Arthur Miller in the 1950’s. It’s main idea is about the horrific Salem Witch Trials.

While reading this book we have had to highlight and take notes of the interesting events that happen. In the assignments for this book we have to create three blog posts. Every blog post relates to a question that we have chosen from a list of questions. For this blog post I have chosen question 10. Question 10 relates to the book because The Crucible is considered universal and enduring and the question is to think of a book, movie or album from your generation that will be universal and enduring.

For my example of the  book, movie or album that is going to be enduring and universal I have chosen the Harry Potter book series. Don’t get me wrong, the movies are good but I think that the books are better. I believe that the Harry Potter franchise is timeless because of how relatable the books are to all ages. A person of any age can pick up one of the books and immediately connect with one of the many memorable characters. Kids like to read them and adults like to read them to their kids. Another reason why the book will be relevant and popular forever is that they create magical, fantasy worlds that people can escape to and enjoy as well as have traditions and history in the stories.  Overall they are well written and keep readers in suspense always wanting to read more. Those are just some of the reasons why I believe that the Harry Potter franchise will be enduring and universal. Below I have created an interactive timeline that shows the books in order as well some interesting facts about them.
