The Great Gatsby
shareI must admit I never read that Gatsby book...I should probably get on that oversight:/
Does The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn count?
I read that twice and loved it!
Published in the 1880s though...
The Jungle Book
The Wizard of Oz
The Titanic
shareI was going to say the same thing. Maybe the OP doesn't consider that "media", though?
shareI was thinking the same thing but
In 1912–3 alone, over a hundred songs are known to have been produced in the US;
The first drama film about the disaster, Saved from the Titanic, was released only 29 days after the disaster;
The 1953 film Titanic
BUT it didn't start life as "Media" so I was thing about deleting the post, wasn't sure, after all we could name all kinds of news stories
But the sinking of the Titanic was world news, of course. There hadn't been that many disasters before that got so much media coverage all over the world. That's why I was thinking it could be a "media" thing. Not entirely sure what the OP means.
shareMe too. I was thinking media coverage, but maybe that could apply to so many things. So I'm thinking books, films, poems, wait maybe I just thought of a poem
shareMary Poppins
shareIt can't be older, like Shakespeare?
shareAlmost 100 years old (published 1923)...do kids or teens still learn this like I did?
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Guess this doesn't count really, but in January it'll have been 100 years since Isaac Asimov's birth.
