Half-a-dozen from a recent quiz.


1)
Is this an artistic success,
Or just a grandiloquent mess?
It wows us and woos us
With words which amuse us,
All sandwiched by stately and yes.


2)
A teacher's emotional strife
Is mute but intense when his wife
(Who should visit a shrink)
Drives his daughter to drink
And he loses the love of his life.


3)
This novel's a cute miscellania
Of incidents zany then zanier,
When two boozy friends
Try to iron out the bends
In the border of south Pennsylvania.


4)
A chap enigmatic and dapper
Yearns hopelessly after a flapper:
His eagerness hurts
When he woos her with shirts
While the reader wants only to slap her.


5)
Some readers (whose hearts must be stony)
Call this 'over-rated baloney':
They think someone sucks
If he cares about ducks
And believes other people are phoney.


6)
This novel has humour and woe,
A hero who's taking life slow,
Itinerants, felons,
A lover of melons,
And hundreds of words you don't know.

"AMERICANS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this jungle before. There could be AMERICANS anywhere." The humid wind felt sticky against his bare chest. "I HATE AMERICANS" he thought. The Japanese National Anthem reverberated his entire skull, making it pulsate even as the parasite infested stream water circulated through his powerful wiry limbs and intensified his (merited) hatred for AMERICANS on strategically advantageous Filipino islands. "With a plane, you can crash into anything you want" he said to himself, out loud.

Given how a running theme of Batemen mistaking people for each other and how from chapter to chapter who he is meeting with changes it's highly likely he killed someone else and just is mistaken of who he killed. Thinking about it now the person who saw Paul could of been mistaken.
