characteristics of The characteristics of Squeaky in the story “Raymond’s Run” is competitive, grouchy, protective, fast, observant. I can tell that squeaky is Competitive because in the story Squeaky says” I win cause i’m the best.” (Bambara,26)and to me that sounds cocky too. The reason I think she is grouchy is because she says in the story” I much rather knock you down and take my chances.” (Bambara, 23). The reason I think Squeaky is protective is because when Raymond and her are on the street Mary Louise just asked what grade Raymond is in and Squeaky freaked out on Mary because she thought that Mary was going to make fun of Raymond. The reason that I think she is fast is because she wins the race at the end of the story and she wins the race at the May Day festival every year. The reason that I think Squeaky is Observant is
In the story Raymond’s run I think Raymond would be a grate runner. Because he is always watching squeaky run and train. Then she states in the story that when she dose run Raymond can keep up with her easy. And if squeaky trains him then she can teach him everything she knows so he to can become a grate runner. So if squeaky teaches him and he is passionate abought running then he should be a grate runner.
Squeaky is Raymond’s sister. Raymond probably watched her run & learned how to do it. After all, She does watch after him. She is very protective of him. Not to mention will knock anyone down if they pick on him
For Instance, Raymond would always train and run along with his sister. She could help him by teaching him have proper breathing exercises, runs, stretches, etc. Although it may take some time, she believes he can do it. Like in the story, Squeaky examines Raymond when he is copying her stretches by bending down and touching his toes. Also at the end, she watches him at the fence
Raymond doesn’t say a whole lot in the story but, that doesn’t mean he can’t run. Squeaky’s brother can be just like her and act just like her. When Squeaky run
In “Raymond’s Run,” Squeaky is known to be independent and confident. In the beginning, she’s seen to not care what others think of her, and instead focuses on her running. However, she’s not truly herself until the end after she sees her brother running the race that she realizes she has to break down the wall she’s built around herself to become her real self and allow others to be like
I predict that Raymond will become a runner like squeaky because, in the climax of the story during the race Raymond was climbing the fence, and the only reason he could have done what he did was by watching and practicing what his sister does. In the text it states: “Raymond with his arms down to his sides and palms tucked behind him, running his very own style, and it’s the first time I ever seen him run like that I almost had to stop and watch.” My textual evidence shows how Raymond evolved as a character in this story by watching and practicing overtime what he had seen. Despite, him being mentally challenged and having disabilities he was able to overcome. Raymond is an amazing, captivating, and empowering character in
As she turns the corner, fatigue and bodily failure kick in, but it doesn’t matter, she’s realized coaching her brother Raymond is more important than winning the race. In life, Squeaky is not really “dealt the whole hand” so to speak. She has responsibilities away from home, but none at home. So, in life, she has had to motivate herself to do things for her, instead of having someone else do it for her.
Squeaky was a good big little sister. She had to take care of her older brother Raymond because he wasn’t quite correct in the head. Therefore, Raymond wasn’t the smartest person in the world, but Squeaky didn’t play the radio about him. She would fight or stand up to anyone when it came down to her brother. Also she really wasn’t about that talking, she will just rather just go up to you and start the fight and end it at the same time. Anyways, if her brother disappeared or got into something that he wasn’t supposed to. Squeaky would be the one who got punished for his behavior because her parents directly told her. “Squeaky watch out for your brother”. But anyways, another thing Squeaky have on her mind 24/7 is track. She loves run. For that
Squeaky’s bad emotions are mostly shown through aggressiveness. But the bad emotions are trying to hide the fact that Squeaky cares. As the start of the start of the story is happening, Squeaky is introducing Raymond. She says that many people like to tease Raymond just because he is not
I believe that the reason why I think Raymond will be a runner like Squeaky is because that after the story ends, Squeaky will retire from racing so she can coach Raymond to run fast. My evidence for this is that in the story, after Squeaky saw how well Gretchen ran in the race, she says: “Maybe she’d like to help me coach Raymond.” This evidence shows that Squeaky is planning on helping Raymond by thinking that Gretchen could help her too. Another piece of evidence is in the climax when Squeaky first notices that Raymond was running really fast. When Squeaky noticed this, she was just amazed. So amazed that in the story she says: “I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run.” In conclusion, all of the evidence shows that Squeaky
Squeaky loved to run. For example, she said ‘’I run. And as anybody can tell you I’m the fastest thing on two feet.’’ She practices ant time of day practicing her running. Squeaky also, practices her breathing . Squeaky came in first place every time she did a race. She doesn’t like to do much talking she rather knock you down. And run if she gets a chance. Squeaky also, does not like anyone messing with her brother Raymond. She said ‘’If anyone has anything to say to Raymond they have to come to me. Gretchen was Squeaky’s enimie . But , Gretchen didn’t do the talking her sidekicks did it for her. She thought she was gonna come in first place. But, squeaky knew that she wasn’t . They did the race and squeaky didn’t know who won , she thought
In the story it say that Raymond always keep up with Squeaky when she does her running. It also say that when Squeaky was getting ready for her race Raymond copied everything she did when she was getting ready. I support my answer at the end because Squeaky realize that her brother Raymond was a good runner just like
In conclusion, the reason I think that Raymond became a fast runner like Squeaky is because the story says that he always found a way to keep up with Squeaky while she was practicing her running. The reason I say that I think that Raymond became a good runner is because
Also why Raymond will be a good runner. Cause squeaky knows what to do cause she has won the race for the last 4 years. so she will train Raymond everything that she knows for
