Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Chapter One What is the name of the boy whose house Beverly and Donna used to sit outside of, hoping to catch a glimpse of him?

Answer: Denny Winters

Donna was Beverly's best friend when she was younger, until they fell out. She does not appear in the film at all.

2. Chapter 2 Who thinks that Beverly should marry Raymond?

Answer: Beverly

In the film, Beverly's parents want her to marry Raymond, but she doesn't want to. In the end she gives in because she feels guilty. In the book though, the marriage is Beverly's solution to her situation, and her parents try to dissuade her.

3. Chapter 3 Raymond and Beverly count up how much money they have after their wedding day. How much is there?

Answer: $800

They think that this will only be enough to pay for the hospital when Beverly gives birth - they have nothing else to live off.

4. Chapter Four Which of the following did the fortune-teller NOT tell Beverly?

Answer: Within four years she would have two more children

She said that Beverly would have two more children within five years, not four. The only correct prediction was that the baby's initial would be J.

5. Chapter Five What was the name of the spirit that Beverly and Virginia talked to with their ouija board?

Answer: Nancy

Nancy was normally friendly, but on the day that Bobby died she became aggressive and violent.

6. Chapter Six Complete the line from Beverly's poem: "Lemon days alone and lost, what will happen in the ____?"

Answer: Dark

Beverly's poems were certainly... um... unique(?). I think that the poems in this chapter were probably drug-induced.

7. Chapter Seven Which of the following was NOT one of the reasons why Beverly did not want to move back into her parents' house?

Answer: She did not want Jason to grow up under her parents' influence

Raymond, on the other hand, had no problem moving back in with his parents. Beverly valued her independance too much to give it up, even if it meant she could have an easier life.

8. Chapter Eight Fay says to Beatrice: "Nice bathing suit. It matches your skin". What colour was the bathing suit?

Answer: Orange

Fay insists that she didn't mean it as an insult - it just came out wrong. Beverly found the whole incident hilarious.

9. Chapter Nine When Detective Beaumont is searching through Beverly's medicine cabinet, and questioning her about the contents, which of the following was NOT one of Beverly's answers?

Answer: Paracetemol

He is convinced that he will find more illegal drugs in the house somewhere, but Beverly and Fay had taken the last of them when they did the housework.

10. Chapter Ten Which year was Jason's first day at kindergarten?

Answer: 1973

Beverly had been looking forward to the day when she would get some time to herself for years. When she arrives, she is worried that all of the other parents are staring at her, both because of her age, and because her picture was in the local newspaper after her arrest.

11. Chapter Eleven Beverly is annoyed that everyone keeps noticing and commenting on something. What is it?

Answer: That she does not wear a bra

Mr Randall is the second person who makes a comment o Beverly about it. Her mother was the first.

12. Chapter Twelve How much did Beverly pay for Cupcake?

Answer: $500

Cupcake was a fourteen-year-old green Volkswagon. They named the car Cupcake because it apparently looked like it had icing when it was in the snow.

13. Chapter Thirteen When Beverly and Jason are queuing for registration at the college, what are the names of the two students chatting in front of them?

Answer: Josh and Marcy

Beverly deliberately treads on the back of Josh's shoe in the queue because she is annoyed at how rich they both are. She calls Josh "the fat kid", but doesn't describe Marcy at all.

14. Chapter Fourteen How old was Cupcake when Beverly crashed her on the way out of Central Park?

Answer: 18

Beverly had been planning to give Cupcake away anyway when she had the crash. When she went back the next morning the car had been looted and smashed up.
