Early American Authors Quiz Game
I just fixed the quiz. There were supposed to be two answers to make it correct.
Oh, Emma! Do you know what book?
Am I right about Mark Twain?!
Emma wrote: "Am I right about Mark Twain?!"You seemed pretty sure of yourself...

Ok...
Well, of course it's Tom Sawyer....
Emma wrote: "Well, of course it's Tom Sawyer...."Sorry.
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Well, of course it's Tom Sawyer...."Sorry."

Huckleberry Finn??
Emma wrote: "Huckleberry Finn??"Nope.
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Huckleberry Finn??"Nope."
😣
The Prince and the Pauper? 🤣
Hey wait a minute - is it The Prince and the Pauper??
Dorothy wrote: "Nope."THEN I GIVE UP!!!
Is it not Mark Twain?!?
Emma wrote: "Is it not Mark Twain?!?"You think those are the only three books he wrote? You're so innocent! 🤣
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Is it not Mark Twain?!?"You think those are the only three books he wrote? You're so innocent! 🤣"
🤦🏻♀️ I know he wrote more books!!! I was just starting to wonder if you were leading me astray again...🤣
Dorothy wrote: "I put a hint in there for you."I don't see a hint.
I think I'll just let Sugar get this one, she hasn't done one in awhile.
Sugar takes too long. I give you permission to look at a list of his books.
Dorothy wrote: "Sugar takes too long. I give you permission to look at a list of his books."🤣 I'm just so proud of myself that I got the Mark Twain part right! 😊🤣
Have you read this book of his?
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Sugar takes too long. I give you permission to look at a list of his books."🤣 I'm just so proud of myself that I got the Mark Twain part right! 😊🤣"
Well, I'll admit it does sound like something he'd do. Sooo arrogant! LOL! But seriously...you may look at a list of his books and then see if you catch my hint!
Emma wrote: "Have you read this book of his?"No, I have not.
Dorothy wrote: "Well, I'll admit it does sound like something he'd do. Sooo arrogant! LOL! But seriously...you may look at a list of his books and then see if you catch my hint!"Yeah, that's why when I read your quiz, I immediately thought of him! 😂

Thank you, very helpful.
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Have you read this book of his?"No, I have not."
Thank you, very helpful."
I wonder if you mean that...
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Have you read this book of his?"No, I have not."

Yes, I really do.
The Story Of The Bad Little Boy? 🤣🤣🤣
You know what my problem is?? TRYING TO FIND THE HINT YOU GAVE ME THAT I CAN'T FIND!!! 😵
Emma wrote: "You know what my problem is?? TRYING TO FIND THE HINT YOU GAVE ME THAT I CAN'T FIND!!! 😵"The hint is in message 13172 and is a single word which is in the book title.
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "You know what my problem is?? TRYING TO FIND THE HINT YOU GAVE ME THAT I CAN'T FIND!!! 😵"The hint is in message 13172 and is a single word which is in the book title."
Oh, I thought you were making fun of me.
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "All right, here's your next quiz!This author's most successful work is so successful partly because of an anonymous critic who raved wildly about the book. That critic was himself..."
I agree with Emma!
I have always thought Mark Twain was quite handsome. Not that it's important. Just an opinion of mine. He surely was a character, in any case.

Emma wrote: "Oh, I thought you were making fun of me."Oh dear! I put the emoji there in the hopes that you wouldn't take offence! 🤣
Well, I feel like you practically gave it to me, but is the title 'The Innocents Abroad?'

😂 I was reading your comment and thinking..."Did Emma say he was handsome?" Then I realized that you were making a separate remark!
I was thinking the same thing, Dorry!! 🙈🤣🤣🤣

🤣 I didn't.
Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Oh, I thought you were making fun of me."Oh dear! I put the emoji there in the hopes that you wouldn't take offence! 🤣"

Oh, good!

Oh, good!"
🤣🤗
Emma wrote: "Well, I feel like you practically gave it to me, but is the title 'The Innocents Abroad?'"Yes, it is! And what was I to do? No one else was showing up!
And I didn't tell you which word it was!
Dorothy wrote: "And I didn't tell you which word it was!"🙄 How dumb do you think I am?! 🤣🤣

😂 I was r..."
Sorry for the confusion. I said I agreed that Emma was right, then added my thoughts about Mark Twain. I guess it was confusing. I think he was especially good looking when he was in his forties. I think I would have enjoyed being one of his "Angel Fish" 😁😂Anyway, that's all I have to say about that!🙊🙊🙊
