Question 6 of 10 Which statement best describes why oxymorons are a powerful language
device in a play like Romeo and Juliet?
O A. Oxymorons bring together similar ideas to make a more powerful
phrase. This shows how strong the Montagues and the Capulets
would be if they united.
O B. Romeo and Juliet always say the opposite of what they mean, and
oxymorons join words with opposite meanings.
O C. Like the opposing concepts that make up an oxymoron, Romeo
and Juliet have joined together even though they're not "supposed"
to.
D. Many theatergoers already knew how the play would end.
Oxymorons keep tensions high by creating situations where the
audience knows more than the characters.

i dont know what you want me to answer

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".

huck's relationship with food is a prominent theme throughout the novel, and during his time on jackson's island and working his way down river, huck revels in and enjoys his ad hoc dining. in the first chapter, we observe huck is ironically trapped in a "civilized" world, when he would prefer to live freely in nature.
