Answer 2

Answer:

One of the greatest themes in "Raymond's Run" is sense of identity. Hazel is bombarded with criticisms of being her brother's protector and having interests in athletics instead of a more feminine activity like the May Pole Dance. Her mother "thinks its a shame I don't take part and act like a girl for a change" but she is not worried about trying to be someone she is not. She makes that clear when she states "I'm serious about my running, and I don't care who knows it."
