Last+Lines

Last Lines GAME

Okay, so we all recognize "Call me Ishmael" but how many of us know that the last line of Moby Dick is:

"It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."

Can we identify books by their last line? Shall we give it a try?

This works the same way as the first lines thread. For example, if I were to post:

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."

the correct answer would be A Tale of Two Cities.

We will post last lines from famous pieces in American Literature.

Directions: Read the last line and identify the piece. Then, do some research and propose another famous line
