As part of the high school curriculum, students are often exposed to a variety of classic novels. These literary works not only provide entertainment but also serve as educational tools, exploring important themes and challenging students' perspectives. Whether you are a high school student, a literature enthusiast, or someone looking to revisit these timeless tales, here is a comprehensive list of must-read novels typically covered in high school.

1. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee:
Considered an American classic, this novel delves into themes of racial inequality and moral courage. Set in the 1930s, it follows the story of Scout Finch, whose father defends a black man accused of rape in a small Alabama town. With its captivating narrative and memorable characters, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of justice and compassion.

2. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald:
Set in the glamorous world of 1920s America, this novel offers a scathing critique of the American Dream. Through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, readers are introduced to the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his pursuit of wealth and love. Filled with lavish parties, tragic love affairs, and social commentary, "The Great Gatsby" is a tale that captures the essence of an era.

3. "1984" by George Orwell:
A dystopian masterpiece, "1984" paints a chilling picture of a totalitarian society where Big Brother watches everyone's every move. Orwell's prophetic vision of mass surveillance, thought control, and political manipulation remains relevant in the modern world. This novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of government oppression and the importance of individual freedom.

4. "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen:
A classic of English literature, "Pride and Prejudice" examines the social norms and expectations of 19th-century England. It follows the spirited Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates the complexities of love, marriage, and societal pressures. Austen's wit and insightful portrayal of characters make this a beloved novel that continues to captivate readers of all ages.

5. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger:
Narrated by the charismatic yet troubled teenager Holden Caulfield, this novel has become an icon of teenage rebellion and angst. Set in the 1950s, it explores themes of alienation, identity, and the loss of innocence. "The Catcher in the Rye" remains a poignant read for young adults, resonating with its raw and authentic portrayal of adolescence.

6. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee:
Another notable work by Harper Lee, "To Kill a Mockingbird" immerses readers in the Southern Gothic atmosphere of 1930s Alabama. Through the eyes of Scout Finch, we witness the compassion and integrity of her father, Atticus Finch, as he defends a black man falsely accused of rape. This powerful novel is a testament to the fight against racial injustice and the importance of empathy.

These are just a few of the remarkable novels commonly studied in high schools.

On the first day of enrollment, we were told, "You high school students will become the saviors of the Earth, the hope of humanity." From then on, we were trapped within the academy's walls. Physical education classes taught us combat, shooting, tank driving, flying planes, and even operating mechas. Academic classes taught us technologies far beyond Earth's current capabilities. Zombies appeared outside our dormitory doors, and occasionally, extraterrestrial creatures would be found on the playground. Every so often, classmates would inexplicably die or disappear, while new students constantly joined us. To survive, it required not only strength, but also the will to survive and, most importantly, the iron fist of justice! ...
