When it comes to art any kind saying if something is good is very subjective it so much depends on what you like, where you come from, even how you feel the day you are exposed to it.I have to say that I have read many so called classics and have been bored to tears. They just didn't speak to me.One reason things become classics is their staying power and in their ability to speak to us. For example the Scarlet Letter is considered by many to be a classic but not to me when I read it I got so annoyed with Hester to the modern me I felt that she made herself a victim and that she should have spoken up that the man who got her pregnant was as much involved as she was. I did not see it as a nobel act but a stupid one. So it did not really speak to me. It is the same with Salvador Dali's art I am usually like yeah there is that damn burning girafe again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Yet I have a friend who just loves his work.</blockquote>
