What’s some differences between village life in america and a confederate girls diary

In Village Life in America and A Confederate Girl's Diary, both young ladies are experiencing a period of war. They both have times where they are apprehensive, and they both need the war to finish as quickly as time permits.

There are a couple of differences with the two journals as well. The greatest distinction is that Richards is on the association's side while Dawson is on the Confederates side. Dawson was devasted at the loss of her side but Richards was triumphant at the success of her side.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".
