![ARE YOU LIKE JANE AUSTEN? #TagTuesday [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Su24X0yS3gA/hqdefault.jpg "ARE YOU LIKE JANE AUSTEN? #TagTuesday [CC]
In which I celebrate Tag Tuesday—and try to recover from William Faulkner and Thomas Hardy—by answering the clever “Are You Like Jane Austen” tag.
Tag created by Shelly Swearingen:
https://youtu.be/B23u5XMdF_E
Prompts:
1) Jane Austen was an artist and a writer. Give yourself a point if youre an artist. Give yourself an extra point if you are a writer.
2) Austen was born to a large family. She had a total of 7 siblings: one sister and six brothers. Give yourself a point if you have three or more siblings in your family.
3) Austen did not enjoy her formal education. Give yourself a point if you did not care for school.
4) Dark humor is weaved throughout Austen’s writing. Give yourself a point if you have a grim sense of humor. You must share a dark joke in order to get this point.
5) Jane broke off two engagements and died a spinster. Give yourself a point if you are single.
6) Austen experienced low periods or spells of depression. Give yourself a point if you have struggled with mental health.
7) Jane moved away from her childhood home in her 20s. Give yourself a point if you’ve lived away from your childhood hometown or region.
8) Jane was not vain. Give yourself a point if you have very little interest in vanity.
9) Hair was of little concern to Austen. Give yourself a point if you cannot be bothered with your hair.
10) Austen expressed her distaste for hot weather. Give yourself a point if you dislike the heat.
How did you score?
10-11 - The spirit of Jane Austen lives in you. She’s with you day in and day out.
9-8 - In another life Jane Austen and you could have been siblings or at least good friends. You want to spend time with one another and work to make that happen.
6-7 - You and Austen are friends. You two could enjoy a long walk in the country and chat about all of the things you all have in common.
4-5 - Though you have less in common with Jane than some, you could probably spend an afternoon with her chatting about your similarities and differences.
2-3 - You and Austen may not share much in common, but you two would be delighted to see one another at a local social gathering exchanging pleasantries on your different lives.
0-1 - You and Austen could learn a lot from one another considering how different you are. This could be shared over a cup of afternoon tea.
