Explanation:

Realism is an artistic way of presenting ideas in a factual manner without any enhancements or exaggerations. Regionalism in this context is a story specific to a particular region or group of people. The story has elements of realism and regionalism because it tells of real people and animals.

The story teller uses a version of the English Language that is specific to a group of native speakers. This native and informal form of speaking is seen in the excerpt at number 2 where words and phrases such as Jest, J'int, and 'Freeze to it' are used.

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".
