Land, Scah-let, Land!

You are Tara. You are well-grounded, like the North Georgian plantation.
The deep red clay of Tara flows in your blood.
You drink Jamieson whiskey and re-enact Civil War battles.

Which Character from 'Gone With The Wind' are you?
brought to you by Quizilla and summa mamas and via myself, since I made it up.

Mr. O'HARA: Do you mean to toll me Katie Scarlett O'Hara that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for. Worth fighting for, worth dying for. Because it's the only thing that lasts.

SCARLETT: Oh, Paw, you talk like an Irishman.

Mr. O'HARA: It's proud I am that I'm Irish. And don't you be forgetting, Missy, that you're half-Irish too. And to anyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why the land they live on is like their mother. Oh, but there, there, now, you're just a child. It'll come to you, this love of the land. There's no getting away from it if you're Irish.
