Favorite classic lit and why: Little Women! I simply love how the four sisters have their own personalities each leading up to their own experiences, challenges, and achievements. I also really adore Alcott's feminism since I suppose that it is healthy" (based from reading her works since I haven't read a biography and I have not met her obviously) in a way that she thinks of it as something for freedom and equal right I suppose rather than changing personal femininity and masculinity and embracing personal preferences.

controversial opinions on a book: I do not like how Mrs. Bennet thinks about her daughters 'marriage and such as if it is their only disposition and she prioritizes wealth when finding a potential spouse. I am aware that she does that so that her daughters' will have a nice lifestyle though honestly, I think they might have been encouraged for other things such as improving their talents so that they can do something great. Along with that, there are other greater things than wealth such as kindness and their mindset.

Favourite classic literature book is To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee (I'm not too sure if it's actually a classic, I suppose it is modern). I haven't read many literature books, just a few. I love to Kill A Mockingbird because it takes me back to my childhood. Its portrayal of the mind of children is beautifully written. In addition, the moral dilemmas that the adults face are brilliantly delivered. It is definitely a book that has changed me. I would read it many times.

controversial opinions on a book: I am not too fond of romance themes on literature

(i) I have read Emma by Jane Austen, it was clever. However, I did not enjoy it as much. It didn't leave any kind of a lasting impact on me. I hope to read some beautiful romantic literature but I doubt I would enjoy it. I am forever changed, and not for the better.

(ii) I think the story of Little Women is quite beautiful, although I haven't read it. I dislike the portion where two sisters Jo and Amy had to share the same love interest. That didn't flatter me at all. I will give this book a read too.
