Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My life has been like a book ever since I started reading the classics. For example, today my land was repossessed by the bank. My family all piled in a single car, which constantly seemed to break down, and went to look for work in California. I got a job doing little things here and there, but in the end my family was all I had. Then I became a fugitive and wasn't able to see them ever again. Whoa, which character did I just resemble there?
2. Well, I decided to move to New York and I ended up meeting an interesting person. He was a mysterious man, an entity that everyone seemed to like, but not truly know. He had a thing for my cousin, and while she was driving with him, she ended up killing another woman. I found him dead, shot while floating upon an air mattress in his pool, the victim of an angry husband. Whose experience did I just happen to experience myself?
3. After that last experience, I knew I had to relieve some pressure. I decided to join a war! I soon bonded with another older soldier, and he taught me the real face of war. He died, along with most of my other buddies. I also met a Frenchman in a shell hole and stabbed him, believing he was going to kill me. I tried to help him afterwards, but his wound was fatal. This whole event taught me the atrocity and horror of war, that it's a needless practice. In whose footsteps did I just follow?
4. I am now forced to wear an "A" on my chest after the public found out that I was pregnant (somehow I am now female as well). They claimed me, and especially my child, to be manifestations of evil. After my child was born, the father revealed himself, and lo and behold, he was a minister! What character's life did I hijack?
5. That last episode was a bit awkward, and this one isn't any less odd. I had just wanted to get home, but it seemed the gods themselves (at least some of them) didn't want me to get there. After many mishaps including a Cyclops, Sirens, and an angry Poseidon, I finally reached my homeland. Waiting for me there was a group of anxious suitors, all of whom I killed. Which persona did I possess?
6. I may have gotten home, but I left it by going down the Mississippi River. With me was a modest slave, and together we rode a raft to our freedom. We encountered many different people and places, all of which shaped our views of the world. Whose characteristics did I just exhibit?
7. My situation was an ominous one. Everything I did was being watched. I exercised, went to work, and came home, all under the supervision of a government autocracy. He was watching us, and after I decided to rebel against his authority by engaging in a relationship and trying to join a resistance, I paid the price through deception and torture. Which person's unfortunate shoes did I fill?
8. I was one of the brightest and most prospective members of my society. I got a scholarship to go to a good college, but I was expelled after I took a trustee to a few unorthodox places. I became a great orator, serving the purpose of civil rights and racial equality. In the end, I was chased to living in my hole, waging an invisible war on my oppressors. Who do I relate to in this instance?
9. My life was that of utter poverty. I had a job and lived in a house, but both were ruthlessly taken away from me by the influential. My family slowly slipped into desperation and death and I lost job after job to corruption. Tired of that corruption, I attended a socialist rally. Who would you say I am most like?
10. After all the conflict that had come up in my life, I finally settled for a philosophy that could make me happy. My tutor has continually assured me that I live in "the best of all possible worlds". Tragedy after tragedy (as can be witnessed by all of these events) continued to plague me, but I did not falter. After the deaths, and return, of many of my companions, we all decided to work hard in a garden for the rest of our happy and fulfilled lives. Who am I?
