"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. It is narrated from Squeaky's perspective. She is Raymond's sister and is beautifully loyal to her brother, not accepting anyone saying anything to him about his being different. <u>She is brave and feisty, ready to pick up a fight with anyone, including the girl mentioned in the excerpt we are analyzing here.</u>
<u>Once they compete, Squeaky begins to admire Gretchen. Squeaky, being strong and honest herself, admires those same qualities in others. Gretchen put up a fight and tried her best during the race. For that reason, she has gained Squeaky's respect.</u>

Answer: The speaker's actions come from their father's teachings, despite their innocent instinct to be scared of the process of hunting.
Explanation: The poem describes how the speaker's father is teaching them to hunt. They go hunting for some pheasants, but despite how cruel and horrible it is for the speaker to see, the father justifies that hunting is not for fun, they're just taking what God provides to them.
As the poem goes, you can see that the speaker is learning from their father's actions, pointing at the mother with a water gun because that's the way you hunt. The speaker's feelings of fear and guilt may dissolve because a kid learns from what surrounds them.
