Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
|
This is a quiz on the book by Robert C. O'Brien, NOT the movie version. The book won the Newbery Award in 1972. I strongly recommend it!

This is a quick quiz on French vocabulary. The '301' part of the title indicates that it's for advanced students, a bit beyond first year words like le nez, l'oiseau and rouge. I give the word in French, you give me the closest English translation.

Modern Film In Black And White

I'm a big fan of classic black and white film: Marx Brothers, Capra, Hitchcock, Bogart, etc. But modern film makers use black and white, too. See how many of the following films you can name, which are colorful in the figurative sense only.
