Screen Cap Quiz! Name that film!
In honor of Memorial day. (Which I may add is not Veteran's Day part 2.)





Knowlt Hoheimer

I was the first fruits of the battle of Missionary Ridge.
When I felt the bullet enter my heart
I wished I had stayed at home and gone to jail
For stealing the hogs of Curl Trenary,
Instead of running away and joining the army.
Rather a thousand times the county jail
Than to lie under this marble figure with wings,
And this granite pedestal
Bearing the words, "Pro Patria."
What do they mean, anyway?


(Name the poem and name my favorite Novel where they are featured for extra credit.)

:-)

5. The poem...
... excerpted from Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology, but, sorry, couldn't tell in what other book it appears.
