Read this passage:
nicki dashed up the shore and into the forest, not stopping
to think. she could feel the footsteps behind her, the
nameless thugs whose loyalties could be bought and sold
like sacks of sugar. those men were fast; she hoped she
was faster. for the first time since her journey began, a
sliver of doubt entered nicki's mind. why did she start all
this in the first place? the doubt would follow her as the
men continued to chase her around the island. they were
unrelenting hounds. she was their timid prey.
which statement best describes why nicki is an example of a round
character?
a. nicki is afraid for the first time and unsure about her actions.
b. nicki remains unafraid and is sure about her course of action.
o
c. nicki will soon be captured by the men chasing her
c
d. nicki doesn't know the men who are chasing her.

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".

question: which statement best describes a similarity in purpose between the frames and excerpt?

answer: both inform the reader that faryad and liaqat were not given the chance to tell their version of events at the police station

explanation: so as you see they were told to leave before they could tell there story

the answer is definitely the first answer: lizabeth is older now and realizes that she may not have made the best decisions.

i wouldn't know because i've never read it, but going over it it looks interesting
