I think that one could consider a novel a classic, when it changes the way people think about life. If you look into some of the world's "classic novels", you ca see they are referenced in many ways years after it is written. For example, Wuthering Heights was written in 1849, and was just referenced in the Twilight movie. That is a 160 year time span. HOLY COW!!! When a book is passed on from generation to generation, that book should be called a classic. If a book can last longer than a human being, the writer must have done something right. It is not everyday that a book can last over 50 years and still be read in class rooms today. Even 20 years is amazing. Overall, i think that when a book changes the world, or helps write a new movie or book, i think it should be considered a classic!
