Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” You suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children.

What is the author’s purpose for including this sentence?
to illustrate the cruelty and violence of a segregated South
to emphasize his personal connection to segregation
to describe the daily struggles of black children
to explain the disparity of segregated parks

“ You suddenly find yourself struggling to explain to your daughter that she can't go to an amusement park that's open to colored children.”

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".
