Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game," by richard connell how is this scene different in the film adaptation of "the most dangerous game"? so intent was the cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing rainsford had made before he saw it. his foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. but he was not quite quick enough, the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. he staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver o rainsford hides instead of trying to wound general zaroff. rainsford's female companion sets the trap for general zaroff. general zaroff injures rainsford with an arrow. general zaroff avoids the trap rainsford sets. save and exit mark this and return next submit

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".

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )

depressed people should not argue
