Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.” I was once a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant when I was in nursery school and didn’t have no better sense than to dance on tiptoe with my arms in a circle over my head doing umbrella steps and being a perfect fool just so my mother and father could come dressed up and clap. You’d think they’d know better than to encourage that kind of nonsense. I am not a strawberry.

What does the narrative voice in this excerpt tell readers about Squeaky’s character?

She wishes she could be more like other girls in school.
She worries that her parents are disappointed with her.
She knows who she is and is comfortable with herself.
She thinks that she is good at and succeeds in everything.

I believe the answer is C

Explanation:

She does not want to be like other girls

She knows that her parents are proud of her

She does not believe that she is good at everything

so the likely answer is C!

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
