Raymond's Run Bamueaky Analysis

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

She normally goes on her walks to practice her breathing exercises and, “[keeps] Raymond on the inside of [her]...which is OK by [her] so long as he doesn’t run [her] over or interrupt [her] breathing exercises” (Bambara 2). When the race is finished, she decides that she is going to devote her attention to helping Raymond develop into a skilled runner. She decides she's going to “begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond as my champion” (Bambara 6). From the beginning of the story to the end, she goes from thinking of herself as the main priority to recognizing that she has the capability to help others, and she is going to put her skills to use on Raymond. Finally, Squeaky learns to have respect for other girls. Squeaky believes that girls have the inability to be true friends with each other. When Gretchen smiles at her, she misinterprets it for a fake smile because, “girls never really smile at each other because they don’t know how and don’t want to know how and there’s probably no one to teach us how, cause grown-up girls don’t know either” (Bambara

The reason that I think Gretchen is competitive is because she is good at running and thinks that she is going to win the race. The reason that I think that Gretchen is fast is because she stays in second place and stays by squeaky the whole race. The reason that I do not think that Gretchen looks like a runner is because Squeaky is describing her and says”In the first place she has short legs.” In my opinion someone with short legs wouldn’t be very fast runner. The reason that I think that gretchen is not talkative is because she does not say a single word in the story. The reason that I think that Gretchen is a winner is because everyone talks about how she will beat Squeaky an example is when Mr.Pearson says”The new girl should give you a run for your money”(Bambara,

When the race was over she saw her brother, Raymond excitedly running over to her and she was so happy to see him that it dawned on her that she didn’t even care if she won the race that she worked so hard to train for. “ I hear Raymond yanking at the fence to call me… remembering how he looks running with his arms down to his side and wind pulling his mouth back and his teeth showing and all… it occurred to me that Raymond would make a very fine runner. Doesn’t he always keep up with me on my trots? And he surely knows how to breathe in counts of seven’ cause he’s always doing it at the dinner table…” (Bambara 655). Squeaky is starting to notice that Raymond is a good runner and that winning makes her happy but seeing others like her brother Raymond makes her even happier. Squeaky is acting radiant. In addition, Squeaky shows more compassion to Gretchen. Squeaky and Gretchen don’t have the best history together but something changes towards the end of the race. “ And I look over at Gretchen… And I smile. ‘Cause she’s good, no doubt about it… maybe she’d like to help me coach Raymond; she obviously is serious about running, as any fool can see. She nods to congratulate me and then she smiles and I smile.”(Bambara 656). Gretchen and Squeaky have respect for each

After reading the story Raymond’s run, I predict that Raymond will become an excellent runner just like Squeaky. Raymond looked up to Squeaky and as she continued to run and practice he grew on her. Raymond caught on to what Squeaky was doing and started to follow her.

So at the end of the book “Raymond’s Run” during Squeaky’s track meet against Gretchen she sees Raymond climbing a fence and running with her she couldn’t believe her eyes Raymond was running just as fast as her and when Squeaky finished the race Raymond started rung again and Squeaky was ecstatic

In the beginning of Ramones Run by Toni Cade Bambara. Squeaky didn’t like Gretchen, they didn’t have respect for each other. Squeaky and Raymond where walking down the street and they saw that Gretchen and her sidekicks where with her, but squeaky didn’t move for them so they all said mean things to each other. After the race was over the man on the speaker took a while to say who won, Squeaky and Gretchen both smiled at each other for the good race. After the race they started to respect each other, the way we know that is because they both smiled at each other. They started to like each other because they had things in common with each other like running, also squeaky said “maybe she’d like to help me couch Raymond.” Characters started to

Although she was good at running, she would have to look out for her brother Raymond because, girls like Gretchen and her sidekicks have tendencies to want to pick on Raymond. This causes Squeaky to want to knock you down, and get everything over with.

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

In the story, Raymond's Run Squeaky only job on the universe was to take care of her little brother Raymond. But Squeaky had a passion for running in relays so while taking care her brother Raymond conditioned and when I say conditioned it seem like she ran for decades. Although she took time out to practice she made sure that she kept her eyes on Raymond. In the story, it sated she made sure while running he stayed on the inside of the sidewalk. The primary reason she liked running was to stay in shape and build her stamina up I swear you would never catch this young lady walking. Squeaky would run so much that that her mom would feel embarrass taking her to stores with the family. Then that's not the only bad thing about it she also

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

To begin, in the story “Raymond’s Run” Squeaky is a great runner. Raymond Is Squeak’s older brother, but he’s not quite there in the head which means he’s mentally challenged. Squeaky takes him everywhere from her running around practicing her breathing exercises to her track meets. Almost every afternoon when she walks home she practices her running to stay in shape, and to stay able to run fast. In the story I think that Raymond learned to become a fast runner like Squeaky.

In Raymond's run Squeaky has a bad attitude which makes it hard to make friends. How squeaky approaches things is with a tough no it all attitude like she will knock anybody in

Squeaky is competitive she says that she will always win. An example is when she tell Gretchen on Broadway that she’s going to win the mayday race. Another example is when she says that she’s not going to let anyone win on purpose.

In the beginning of the story, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, also known as Squeaky, loves to run. For example, Squeaky trots around the block with her brother and also does breathing exercises while walking to the store with her mom. Squeaky is a very confident girl and runner. She is also very brave. What I mean by that is Squeaky has only one job, to take care of her older brother Raymond. In order to do that she has to be very brave. For example, one day, while doing a breathing exercise, Gretchen and her sidekicks came up and one of Gretchen’s sidekicks made a comment on how big Raymond’s head is. Well Squeaky had to be brave and stand up for Raymond because Raymond is a little slow on things. Near the end there is a big race,
