Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. English class - and the teacher somehow thinks Golding's character "Piggy" really wanted only to go to McDonalds! What book will Charles need?

Answer: Lord of the Fries

William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" is an extraordinarily depressing look at evil incarnate in children.

2. Charles's teacher had a bad case of halitosis when she assigned him to read a book by L. Frank Baum. Can you help Charles find this strange book?

Answer: Tic-Tac of Oz

"Tik-Tok of Oz" was about a robot, of all things!

3. Science Class -- and the confused science teacher wants Charles to find a song about Three Mile Island -- which one is what the teacher asked for?

Answer: Green Glow the Rushes, O

Well -- none of the rushes did grow green after TMI and the near nuclear meltdown -- but it sure makes a nice pun!

4. World Series time -- and Charles' History teacher is clearly wondering ... he asked for a book on the history of baseball in ancient times! Can you help find it?

Answer: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Umpire

Clearly a book on baseball has to deal with an "umpire"!

5. It is "Native American Month" but Charles' teacher is a tad confused -- he asked Charles to get Cooper's book on footwear! Can you help?

Answer: Last of the Moccasins

James Fenimore Cooper's books, including "The Last of the Mohicans" were satirized in Mark Twain's "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses."

6. Charles is studying the Great Depression ... but his confused teacher asked him to sing something about a person missing his watch, instead! What do you think it was?

Answer: Brother, Can You Spare the Time?

"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" was Yip Harburg's 1932 anthem to the unemployed of the Great Depression.
'Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad, now it's done --
Brother, can you spare a dime?'

7. Oh no! Charles' teacher has totally confused Mark Twain and Hans Christian Andersen -- he asked for a book about a mermaid on a raft! Can you help Charles?

Answer: The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin

"Huckleberry Finn" is a classic -- and I thought "Fin" for "mermaid" made sense. "The Little Mermaid", though, had a very sad ending, not at all like the Disney movie.

8. English Lit -- and Charles' teacher was supposed to be teaching Shakespeare this term. Unfortunately, he was reading T. H. White instead so he asked Charles to read this play.

Answer: Twelfth Knight

T. H. White wrote "The Once and Future King" about the Arthurian legend -- what could be more natural than "Twelfth Knight" from Shakespeare?

9. Charles actually likes reading Sherlock Holmes stories, but he was taken aback when asked to find the book about Holmes in Hollywood. Can you help?

Answer: A Study in Starlet

"A Study in Scarlet" is one of the all-time great Holmes novels by Conan Doyle.

10. Margaret Mitchell must have been on the teacher's mind when he asked Charles to get a Canadian classic about a red-haired girl from the Civil War ... can you help out?

Answer: Anne of Clark Gables

Everyone should remember "Anne of Green Gables" and that Clark Gable starred in "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, I hope.
