Quiz Writer
Jake didn’t think he’d become a writer when he was growing up in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, but fate had another idea. After barely squeaking through grade 9 English, by the luck of the draw Jake found himself with the most inspiring literature instructor his small town had ever known, and grade 10 English changed his life! Suddenly, evenings once spent at the hockey rink were spent curled up on the couch with the best of Hemingway, Dickens, and John Grisham. A valedictorian address and English degree at the University of Regina later, Jake is proud to call Heywise his favorite place to pen informative quizzes about all his passion projects. If you’re reading a post and pick up a hint of classic English literature, you’re probably reading something by Jake - especially if you come away feeling like a slightly better person for it.
Did you know?
Yasuke is based on real-life, historical events
Okay, we know that there weren’t really any giant robots or lasers kicking about in 16th Century Japan, so the series is only loosely based in history. But Yasuke absolutely was a real person, as was Oda Nobunaga, also known as the “Great Unifier” of the country of Japan. The show deals primarily with what happened after Yasuke was captured following the ultimate defeat of Oda Nobunaga’s forces. However, some flashbacks do hint at key aspects of the samurai’s life, including his initial meeting with the warlord Nobunaga and how he rose through the ranks. What better way to learn a little Japanese history than with animation, mechs, and magic?
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
