In this article Connors talks about how Anna and he take a stand in this column called

they were asked to write. He thinks its time that we push acceptance as literature
with high school teachers. According to Connors when students were asked to answer,
What are the defining characteristics of Literature? they tell him they havent
considered that question before. High school literature is challenging and that brings
up a lot of questions. It is explained that the young adult novels theyve identified
shouldnt compare with the canonical literary text.
