Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Wednesday, November 16, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: FICTIONAL CHARACTERS’ LAST WORDS
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: In a British novel this young character’s last words are, “Which is better–to have rules & agree, or to hunt & kill?”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Lily Allingham, a sophomore from Wilmington, Delaware
Lucia Geng, a junior from Great Neck, New York
Sharath Narayan, a sophomore from Madison, Alabama
Shortly after Piggy utters these words in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Roger shoves a rock down the mountainside. The boulder strikes Piggy, shatters the famous conch from the novel, and knocks him off the mountain to his death. The tribe of children descends into chaos.
I have a feeling that someone somewhere is going to make the comparison between Lord of the Flies and Trump’s America.
