Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.” And on the other side of the fence is Raymond with his arms down to his side and the palm
s tucked up behind him, running in his very own style, and it’s the first time I ever saw that and I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run. But the white ribbon is bouncing toward me and I tear past it, racing into the distance till my feet with a mind of their own start digging up footfuls of dirt and brake me short. Then all the kids standing on the side pile on me, banging me on the back and slapping my head with their May Day programs, for I have won again and everybody on 151st Street can walk tall for another year. Which text evidence best supports the idea that Squeaky is running for more than just herself? I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run the white ribbon is bouncing toward me and I tear past it my feet with a mind of their own start digging up footfuls of dirt everybody on 151st Street can walk tall for another year
In developing the characters in "A Wedding Gift", Maupassant uses DIREFT CHARACTERIZATION and VIVID IMAGERY. He reveals the personality of the character by telling the audience directly his writing, and the way he describe things all-encompassing. He included all of the senses while making his descriptions.
