[Joanna]

Well I feel like there's got to be a better way to word this, but here goes! 😄 This NE author used two of his ancestors as the subject for one of his most famous works. Who is it, and what is the name of the work?

EMMA!!!!!!! 😠

[Lily Rose]

I'm going to go with Emma since I don't have any other guess.

[Lily Rose]

Oh. She says we're both wrong. Hmmm. I'm going to have to give this some thought.

[Lily Rose]

That is, unless she's telling me a falsehood.

[Joanna]

Dorothy wrote: "That is, unless she's telling me a falsehood."

I'm telling you a truthhood!

[Lily Rose]

Meg wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "That is, unless she's telling me a falsehood."

I'm telling you a truthhood!"

"Truthhood" is not a word, therefore your claim is null.

Neither is yours, please give your answer to the quiz! 😂

[Lily Rose]

Herman Melville, Moby Dick?

[Pamela]

I always thought Hawthorne based characters in The Scarlet Letter on his ancestors, who he did not respect. It seems that's the wrong answer. Hmmm? Another tough one! 🤔
Pammy Jo

Pammy Jo"

I don't know about The Scarlet Letter...The House of the Seven Gables was partly inspired by his ancestors. But nope, it's not Hawthorne. 😋

[Pamela]

Walt Whitman?

[Pamela]

Ah! Would it be Longfellow? It just occured to me that his ancestors arrived on the Mayflower. Would the poem be "The Courtship of Miles Standish" perhaps??...I read it recently and am thinking that might be it!
Pammy Jo
