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

Now this I the story bring a lot of speculation about whether or not Raymond become a runner like squeaky. I’m here to tell you that he will in fact be a runner maybe even better than squeaky and I’m going to tell you why, so let’s get started.

She was so good in the story she stated that “The big kids call me mercury because, I’m the swiftest thing in the neighborhood. ’Her passion went so far she would run while her mother was grocery shopping.
Do you think that Raymond will be a runner like Squeaky. Me personally I do think he will be a good runner and he learns from watching squeaky and practicing with her every day. Raymond wants to be like squeaky as you can tell if you read the passage when it says he copied her every move before the race started. If squeaky showed and teaches him what she know he will be even faster than he already is. The faster Raymond get he will have a better chance of winning a race.
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

If Squeaky continue to do that she would have a hard life, because everyone don’t act like they look. That is a very bad habit for Squeaky. Hopefully she will get rid of it.
Squeaky was a good big little sister. She had one responsibility and one responsibility only. She had to take care of her older brother, yes I know that sounds weird but her brother wasn’t quite right the head. Therefore, he wasn’t the smartest kid in the world but Squeaky didn’t the radio about him. If anyone had anything funny or rude to say about Raymond Squeaky would have to fight Raymond’s battles because Raymond couldn’t help that he was born with a disability problem. For that being said, Squeaky wasn’t really a talker, she would rather just go up to you and start and finish the fight right then and there. But if things get too outrages she will what she do best and that is RUN! Since that being said, Squeaky is a track star, she is
