Young Writers Society

They need more poets... I still stand with Snoink's observation that I write like Plath/ Dickinson. I forget which it was, but I emulate both a little :p

You Scored as William Shakespeare

You are most like William Shakespeare, considered to be the greatest writer in English. Mystery surrounds his life, but scholars know he had a wife and family, who was not around much because he was in London writing and directing plays at the famous Globe Theater, where he produced plays that everyone of any background could enjoy. His sonnets show his mastery of style. His plays show his insight into human nature, as he has created some of the greatest characters in all of literature. His works are too many to list, but some include "Hamlet," "MacBeth" and "Twelfth Night."

I really don't see how this is possible, but I guess I'm William Shakespeare. Nice to meet you all.

If you say so...

So yeah, I think the selection's pretty weak on this one, seeing as Hemingway and Joyce are more known for prose and Shakespeare, Whitman, and Poe are hardly representative of all poets.

Since I clearly have nothing better to do , I went looking for better quizzes.

I got Robert Frost
All life matters. Its flow and nature is significant. Capturing the moment provides immeasurable insight. Speculation=Beauty. You look deeply into others. All is seen as bonded to you.

http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?obj_id=93804 This one is also pretty limited, but has more varied results IMO

You're like Walt Whitman. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly one poem which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality. As a sort of rebel who never cared for what others thought, he chose to write whatever he wanted. Whether it was the rumors of him being a homosexual or even digging up the corpse of Elias Hicks to make a mold of his skull, he was known for it.

And finally, this one from Quizilla (anyone else used to be obsessed with that site?) tells me I am like Wallace Stevens. (Note: Mild sex/drug references)

Okay, I'm done now. For realz.
