Explanation:
"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>

I think the answer would be setting because people who read the sentence can relate to the characters in the book. So the setting would cause the rader to think about their own lives.
A rhyme scheme is a order of rhyme patterns at the end of each line in a poem.
for example:
The people along the sand -A
All turn and look one way. B
They turn their back on the land. -A
<span>They look at the sea all day B
</span>
the rhyme scheme would be A,B,A,B
