1. To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em> by Harper Lee<\/h3>\nHaving won a Pulitzer Prize and translated into dozens of languages, To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em><\/a> is often a staple in high school curriculums. Taking place in Alabama during the 1930s, it tells the tale of\u00a0 Scout and Jem Finch while exploring human behaviour. Through these children, Lee takes readers on a tale of morals, emotions, and again, what it means to be human.<\/p>\n![\"anne](\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/48855-1.jpg\")

3. Anything Shakespeare<\/h3>\n
Everyone argues that reading Shakespeare<\/a> is good for increasing your vocabulary, and it increases your knowledge of understanding history – after all, his plays are considered to be eyewitness accounts of the times. However, if you really get down to it, Shakespeare wrote grand tales full of debauchery, shady insults, and captured what it means to be human.\u00a0 Yes, Old English is so hard to understand that it’s considered a totally different language, but there’s always a modern adaptation to be found.<\/p>\n![\"fahrenheit](\"https:\/\/houseofjewellery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/4956476726_26b690b952_b.jpg\")
