Make a prediction.

Explanation:

In a text, there are several literary figurative languages used by a writer to signify major points within the story. They also use these elements to provide clues to the readers on how the story might end or how a specific scene will lead to another. When a reader finds these clues, he will be able to make predictions about how the story will lead/ move on, or even how it may end.

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".
