When I was in school there were some prescribed books that we had to read for English .There was Animal Farm, The Great Gatsby and To kill a mockingbird. I loved all three but definitely To kill a mockingbird was my favourite . Only when I was older and read the book again was I able to unpack one of the main themes in the book Racism. What books did you read in school ? Did you fully understand the content and context of the book in school? It can be for any subject not just English .
