Early American Authors Quiz Game
I feel like this quiz has been a bust lately. π Poor Pammy's not hardly been able to be on because of her internet issues, Ruth's been too tired, Allyson's got her own life, ππ€£ that just leaves the three of us.
I know the answer. Again, I worry that I won't be able to be online!π₯Pammy Jo

Pammy Jo
For your information, Meg, all I did was to look for the name of the "fashion magazine laura ingalls wilder." That gave me the name of the editor, which, I admit, I didn't know before, but the first thing that came to my mind was that magazine, so don't be unfair!

Congratulation..."
Thank you, Pammy!
You are welcome, Dorothy!πIt is, no doubt, a good thing the teacher can't be online much at present, or surely the chair in the corner would be frequently occupied these last few days!LOL!!!πππ€£ππ€
Miss Pammy
Is anyone ready for the next question? I'm just trying to figure out how to word it right.
This poet wrote a poem as a private joke on his friend, but was surprised and disappointed to learn that people were taking the poem seriously, in spite of his best efforts to make it clear by his manner that he was "only fooling." Name the poet and the poem.
π€ Wasn't that Mark Twain, writing to John Greenleaf Whittier? I don't know the poem.
Emma wrote: "π€ Wasn't that Mark Twain, writing to John Greenleaf Whittier? I don't know the poem."Emma, you've been hanging around Allyson too much!
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "π€ Wasn't that Mark Twain, writing to John Greenleaf Whittier? I don't know the poem."Emma, you've been hanging around Allyson too much!"
I do live with her 24/7... π That's just what I thought the answer might be, does that mean I'm wrong?

Why is Dorry asking questions about poems she's never read?!
Meg wrote: "Why is Dorry asking questions about poems she's never read?!"When she posted the question, I immediately started thinking about what it could maybe be, and then it struck me, "Poem?! How would she know a question about a poem???!!" π€£π€£π€£

I want to say James Russell Lowell but can't think of a particular poem except his 'Fable for Critics', which was about a lot of his friends (and enemies!) π
Emma, you had never read "The Benefactress Matryoshka" before you wanted to ask a question about it!
