Answer and explanation:

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by author Toni Cade Bambara narrated from a first-person perspective. A first-person narrative is a story told from one of the characters' point of view, and it employs first-person pronouns such as "I" or "we".

This type of perspective is usually considered limited, since we can only know what that character knows. We follow the story through his/her eyes, and are only aware of what he/she is aware. Readers are given that character's opinion of things, which is always subjective. In this specific short story, the narrator is Hazel, also known as Squeaky. She's a very smart child who strives to be the best version of herself. She has a critical point of view, giving her straightforward opinion about people and issues. Through her, readers get to know that her brother Raymond is different, special; "not quite right" is the way Squeaky puts it. Yet, she does not mind looking after him, nor does she allow anyone to make fun of him. Through her, readers are told that girls are often too worried about their image, to the point where they don't even learn to be friends and to smile at each other with honesty. It is also Hazel's opinion that adults can be really stupid sometimes. All of that and more is conveyed to readers in a very subjective but direct manner. Hazel is an honest girl. A different point of view wouldn't manage to touch readers the way Hazel's does.

"Raymond's Run" is written in the first person point of view. You know this because the narrator, Squeaky, uses the word "I" and describes the action as she sees it. 

This helps give the reader a better sense of character, plot, and theme because she leads the reader through the story. She tells you exactly what she thinks of each character she comes across, and the story follows her through her day and through her actions which help keep track of the plot.

disa [49]
Well the one of the most suspicious things in the book is when Jamie sees her own face on the milk carton, hence the title.
Hannah is likely the one who kidnapped Jamie, but with good intentions. Jamie's grandparents weren't at fault.
The clues revealed very little, just that Hannah's conflct with the cult hindered her ability to take care of Jamie.
Conflict was resolved when they found each other again.
Jamie found evidence to every aspect of the alleged kidnapping, including the dress in the picture, which she found in the attic.

Hope this helps!

loris [4]

Articulation and rhythm are the two vocal delivery elements should Adam work on before his next speech.

<h3>What is Articulation in speech delivery?</h3>

Articulation. Articulation is the process of creating vowels and consonants with our lips, mouth, tongue, and palate to create speech sounds. On a regular basis, our overall speaking skills are assessed.

The person's voice's power is its volume, up to and including a whisper. The pace at which you speak is called pace. Pitch is the manner that your voice expresses emotion.

Thus, Articulation and rhythm are the two vocal delivery elements should Adam work.
