Add the literature you find to a document where you answer the following two questions, make sure you include the author, the title, and the date it was published/written. Analyze it, what is the author's purpose of writing this piece, what does it tell you the reader about the pandemic and the time period? The Third Pandemic Literature.

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".

this answer to this question is c. allegory

why?

stories with allegories have a hidden symbolic meaning with a theme. the hidden meaning can be political, or other real life problems.

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )
