What is a good summary for a quilt for a country

'A Quilt of a Country' is a commentary written by Anna Quindlen, which was written after the terror attacks on America that occurred on September 11, 2001. Quindlen uses the metaphor, or a literary comparison, of the United States as a quilt comprised of diversified pieces.

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".

love, how my life is right now. you can be loved and can love others. sometimes you dont feel loved right now, dont worry, someone out there is loving you while you are away.
