I thought it was Cry Beloved Country but it would not work--so I admit I googled it. But got others by logic, not because I knew them well enough. Great quiz to make us think.
Only got slaughterhouse 5 because of "quintet." Couldn't think of many books that had the word '5' in them, so having no clue what an abbatoir was, i took a shot.
I'm still in awe that I got Cry the beloved country - I have never heard of this book before, but I just wrote the equivalent words that came to my mind, and it worked! Didn't quite work as well with Brave New World and The Red Badge of Courage though, because I don't equate contemporary with New so I didn't think of it, and I wasn't sure enough what "token" meant in the context to find a synonym. Oh well. Very entertaining quiz idea BTW!
I did land instead of country :/ did get the other ones though. But did chip for the token first and then ah badge of courage clicked in my head. Still haven heard of the book though
No, but it's a contraction. Love's(thing belonging to love) labour's(labour is) lost. Romance's(thing belonging to romance) work's(work is) misplaced. Therefore, the labour belonging to love is lost, or the work belonging to romance is misplaced. Or, I suppose, the labour of love is lost, and the work of romance is misplaced.
I used to love reading about the adventures of Pete Skillet and the Disoriented Lads in Not Ever Country, fighting the dastardly corsair, Commander Sickle.
Fun quiz! But, seems a bit inconsistent about whether or not you need to type "the" to get the answer. I tried typing cry beloved country, but it wouldn't take it. Can you streamline some of the answers a little?
Hi quizmaster, nervous to talk to you becayuse youre so legend on the site lol but hope you see this and take heed. I hoenstly dont think that necartine is synonym for peach.
