VIVID VIVIAN

Vivid Vivian had a dream,

Vivid dream it was.

When suddenly it started to seem,

All there was were straws.

She ran around telling people,

But even she couldn't climb the steep hill.

She ran back down and BOOM!

Vivian woke up, back in her room.

Explanation:

Alliteration is a very important poetic device used here in this poem. Without it, the poem would be incredibly boring.

explanation:

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".
