Explanation:

The Odyssey was written by Homer and it is about Odysseus returning trip to Ithaca after The Iliad. Elpenor was the youngest person in Odysseus crew, and he dies when he broke his neck; he did so since the night before he had gotten drunk and fallen asleep on the roof.

He appears again when Odysseus finds him in Hades. There, Elpenor asks the hero to come back to the island where his body was, so he could be cremated and given a proper ceremony.

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".
