These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-06-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 7 - Canadiana Literature - Anne of Green Gables
A Canadian icon if there ever was one.
1. Name the Canadian author of "Anne of Green Gables".
2. She's "Anne" of Green Gables, but what is her last name?
3. In the Canadian TV-movie and miniseries first seen in 1985,
who played Anne?
4. Name the long-running (1990-1996), very popular spin-off TV
series created by Kevin Sullivan. It featured many characters
from the books, but not Anne.
5. Anne is adopted by a PEI family who were actually expecting a boy
to help with the farm work. Who is the female head of that
family? (First *or* last name.)
6. Who is Anne's nemesis, then her boyfriend, and eventually
her husband? (First *or* last name.)
7. <answer 6> was played in the 1985 miniseries by the actor son
of a former Toronto politician. Who was this actor?
8. <answer 1> wrote several Anne sequels; what was the last Anne
book to be published (although not the last in order of internal
chronology)?
9. A musical version of Anne has been presented at the Charlottetown
Festival every year since 1965. Which Canadian comic actor
wrote the book and lyrics?
10. The Japanese have a mania for Anne. In 1979 they produced
"Akage no An", an animated TV series about her. Translate the
title into English.
* Game 7, Round 8 - Arts & Literature - Artists in Exile
For each artist, writer, or performer, we will tell you when and
for how long he lived in exile, and maybe some other information
as well. In each case, you name the person involved.
1. This writer and historian wrote about the horrors of the
Soviet gulag. He was expelled and lived in exile from 1974
to 1994.
2. This Romantic composer and pianist was in Vienna in 1831 when
the Polish uprising against Russia was crushed. Unable to
return, he remained in exile until his death in 1849.
3. He was an author, playwright, poet, and human-rights campaigner,
one of France's great literary figures. He was exiled in 1851
for 19 years for declaring Napoleon III a traitor to France.
4. This comedic actor and film director was barred from reentering
the US in 1952 due to suspicion of Communist leanings. He lived
in exile until 1972, when he returned to the US to receive a
special Academy Award.
5. In the year 8, Emperor Augustus banished him from Rome to
Tomis in what is now Romania. In exile until his death 9 years
later, this poet wrote collections of poetry such as "Tristia"
and "Epistulae ex Ponto". However, he is best known for
"Metamorphoses".
6. While visiting Rome in 1301, this poet's political rivals took
control of Florence and sentenced him in absentia to death
for various unpaid fines. This sentence was rescinded by city
council 700 years later. Who was the guilty poet?
7. This playwright left Nazi Germany in 1933. While in the US,
he wrote "Life of Galileo", "The Caucasian Chalk Circle",
and the screenplay for the Hollywood movie "Hangmen Also Die!"
He returned to Germany the day after appearing before the House
Un-American Activities Committee.
8. This American singer, actor and political activist called it
his "exile", although he was *forbidden* to leave the US,
not required to. From 1950 to 1958, his passport was revoked
because of his Soviet sympathies and for speaking out against
mistreatment of black Americans.
9. After the trauma of World War I, this writer began his
self-imposed exile, leaving his native England in 1919 and
returning only twice for a visit. He and his wife traveled
around the world until his death in 1930; during this time,
he wrote "The Plumed Serpent" and "Mornings in Mexico", among
many others.
10. He left Czechoslovakia in 1968 after the Soviet invasion and
came to Canada. He wrote a number of books including "The Bass
Saxophone" as well as "The Engineer of Human Souls", which won
the Governor-General's Award. He received the Order of Canada
in 1992.
