Emily of New Moon Trivia Quiz

Answer: Eavesdrops

Emily wanted to know what her fate would be now that her father has died. She hid under the table to hear what was going to happen to her. Unfortunately the family said more than one harsh thing about her and Emily cried out in anger and pain. Emily was reprimanded for eavesdropping. Emily was an only child and had not been exposed to people, other than Ellen and her father, which was why she did not realise that it was an inappropriate thing to do.

Answer: Lottery

As the family could not agree on who would look after Emily they decided to have a paper lottery. Emily would pick a piece of paper with a name on it and that person would be with whom she would live. Emily picked Aunt Elizabeth's name, so off to New Moon she went.

Answer: Saucy Sal

Although Mike was Emily's favourite cat he was also the best looking. Emily decided that Ellen would look after Mike but would not do the same for Saucy Sal. Therefore Emily chose Saucy Sal to take to New Moon.

Answer: Rhoda

After Emily received the gift of the dead snake Rhoda felt guilty and stayed behind and apologised. Rhoda asked Miss Bramwell, the teacher, to allow Emily to sit next to her.

Answer: Emily wanted a parlour in their clubhouse

Aunt Elizabeth punished Emily by locking her in the spare room. Emily was so scared that she escaped the room through the window and ran away to Lofty John's bush, where she met Ilse. They struck up a friendship and enjoyed each other's company and started to build a playhouse.

The fight came about when Emily wanted a parlour and Ilse did not. Ilse became angry easily but also calmed down quickly and did not hold grudges. Emily thought her friendship was over only to find that this was not the case.

Answer: Fell down a well

During Emily's stay at Wyther Grange with Great Aunt Nancy, she discovered the mystery of Ilse's mother. The story always worried Emily and she did not believe it was true. Emily became ill and during her fever she asked Aunt Laura to check the well for Ilse's mother. Emily realized Aunt Laura was only placating her by agreeing to check the well out, so she then asked Aunt Elizabeth. Emily knew Aunt Elizabeth was very strict and inflexible but she always kept her word. True enough they found Beatrice's body at the bottom of the well. Of course Dr Burnley suddenly re-entered the life of the living and became a caring father to Ilse.

Answer: True

Emily's teacher Mr Crawford assesses her poetry and short stories and gave her encouragement. After the session Emily decided that she would continue her writing as a diary not as letters to her father.
