What is the best word to describe the mood of "in another country"?
(if it its by ernest hemingway)

hopeful
dejected
surprised
indifferent

The best answer for this question would be:

Dejected

Because the tone represented by the author was somewhat a melancholy kind of tone in his writing. Whereas, “dejected” described a more sad mood with what the author is feeling.

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".
