Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1980) My name is Jack Torrance, and I really did want to put my life back in order and make things better for my wife and son. When the job of winter caretaker for the Overlook Hotel came up, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to take my family away from everything, and make a serious attempt at writing my book. I just wish I had never made friends with that Grady fellow, or listened to what he had to say.
2. (1996) My name is Brigadier General Francis Hummel, and I am a man of honour. For years I have watched good men die while engaged in covert operations. Because of the secrecy of their missions, they have never been acknowledged, and their families have never received the compensation they deserved - this must end. Now I am in command of a small group of mercenaries who are based on Alcatraz. Maybe now, when we have 15 rockets armed with deadly nerve gas aimed at San Francisco, they will listen to my demands.
3. (1991) My name is Locksley, and I was more than a little dismayed to return from the Crusades and find that I no longer had a home to return to. My father was killed by the Sheriff, on trumped up charges of devil worship, and my family's estate was forfeit. What choice did I have, but to live like an outlaw, and do my best to return some form of justice to these horribly oppressed people?
4. (1996) My name is Carl Lee Hailey, and when those two white boys raped and beat my little girl, and left her for dead, I knew that there was a good chance that they'd get away with it. I had to do something about that, so I took matters into my own hands, relying on my buddy Jake Briggance to get me out of this hole that I dug for myself.
5. (2003) My name is Will Turner, and I am a swordmaker. I have always hated piracy of any description. When the woman I love is taken by pirates, and no one is willing to go after her, I seek help wherever I can find it. Although a pirate himself, Captain Jack Sparrow knows where they are taking Elizabeth, so I help him escape from jail so that we can rescue her together. However things get a lot more complicated than I could ever have imagined.
6. (1993) My name is Dr. Richard Kimble. One night I came home from surgery to find my wife dying, and a one armed man in my house. Of course no one believed me, and I was found guilty of the murder of my wife, but I managed to escape when the bus transferring a bunch of us to prison was involved in an accident. Now I am a fugitive from the law, but I will not turn myself in until I can prove my innocence.
7. (1995) My name is Detective David Mills, and I've always thought of myself as one of the good guys. I loved my new job, even if my partner, who was nearing retirement, was less than enthusiastic. We picked up an interesting case, where some really meticulous bad guy was killing off people who he saw as being guilty of one of the deadly sins. Little did I know that he had chosen me as his own instrument of destruction, making me guilty of one of the deadly sins.
8. (1995) My name is Henri Young, and I was just a kid when I was sent to Alcatraz for stealing five bucks to feed my little sister, during the depression. While there I got caught up in a plan to escape, but someone ratted us out. Some people might call me lucky, because everyone else in the escape party was killed, but when I finally got out of solitary after years of confinement, I was somewhat less than human. Goaded on by the other prisoners, I killed the guy who ratted us out, using a spoon. Now my lawyer wants to prove that I wasn't responsible for my actions, because of the years I spent in solitary.
9. (2003) My name is Stella Bridger, and like my father I am an excellent safe cracker. Unlike my father, I have never used my talents illegally...until now. When my father was betrayed and killed by a member of his own gang, and the rest of them approached me about helping them nail the guy who killed him, I found that I could be convinced to perform a little larceny. It felt awfully good stealing that gold back from him.
10. (2003) My name is Nicholas Easter, and I know that jury tampering is a crime, but when your reasons are as good as mine, that doesn't seem all that important. Not only were my girlfriend and I able to hold a major gun manufacturer accountable for what happens with the products it sells, but we also managed to ruin the career of that evil jury consultant, Rankin Fitch. He's caused a lot of pain in our hometown. The money, which we didn't keep, was only the icing on the cake.
