Classic book talks and "Two Gentlemen of Verona"

Today we start our classic book talks.

Apart from relating the plot of your work, you need to be able to explain the following:


The book you are reading-  Why is it a classic? 

- Message ?
- Characters?
- Language?
- Style?
- The name of the author?
- Authenticity?

Your task is to ORALLY show that you have read your classic and that you can discuss why you think it is still around.

Would you recommend your book to anyone else or not?
