Paul seems to know everyone in this town, and is always amenable to a chat when i run into him. paul's father, a docile man, works with him at the bookstore.

which statement best explains the nuance between amenable and docile?

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".

what are you asking?

c, have a good day ~matya
