Gareth Owen: > Was this for adding "of Egypt" or for muffing the author? You gave the (wrong) author in parentheses, so it was a comment and didn't count. However, as you note, you got the title wrong. > Because Palgrave (from where I learned it at school) gives the > "of Egypt" title. Huh. Checking Google Books, I see that a small minority of books do use that title. Okay, then it's correct after all. 4 for Gareth also. This is one of the few pieces of serious (as opposed to humorous) poetry that I actually like, but my opinion is that it works much better if you *don't* know that Ozymandias was an actual name of an Egyptian pharaoh (he's better known in English by another one of his names). So I say Shelley would have done an even better job if he'd substituted a fictional name, someone we'd never heard of; and for much the same reason, I think the longer title weakens the poem. > > Gareth Owen -- -- 40 0 27 40 107 > I make my score 31 for Lit. Missed two completely, and one point off > Ozymandias. Typo in scoring. Did you notice where I said "4 for areth" on one question? And then at the bottom of the standings there was a line with nobody's name and "-- -- -- -- 4 0 4" in the other colums? Those were your missing 4 points. The missing name was because it didn't know who "areth" was. My fault, and I'll amend my scripts to trap that error.
