Later in this lesson, you will read an excerpt from the play the importance of being earnest, which is a classic example of a comedy of manners. explain what the term “comedy of manners” means and predict what this play will be about.

I believe the term comedy of manners is when someone is making fun of manners or political correctness and using stereotypes.

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".

we have no idea what story or poem you mean? ?
