Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I added the missing explanations below.
<u>Quotation/Explanation:</u>
- <em>"But that's chicken and I've got a reputation to consider." </em>Meaning: <em>The fact is "Squeaky sees things in Raymond that other people don't."</em>
- <em>"I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run." </em>Meaning: What this quotation show is that <em>"Squeaky thinks kids are as important as adults".</em>
- <em>"People like to act like things come easy to them...Not me." </em>Meaning: His willingness to state his opinion despite been different shows that <em>"Squeaky values honesty."</em>
- <em>"He's got no right to call me Squeaky, if I can't call him Beanstalk." </em>Meaning: <em>It shows that "Squeaky pays more attention to people she respects."</em>
- <em>"Besides, there's just me and Gretchen standing there really." </em>Meaning:<em> It shows that "Squeaky cares what other girls think about her."</em>
Whats the question????????
"and he would go tot work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of this as long and tedious as it should be to me"
"Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat down and reeled off the monotonous narrative…"
Then there's another one when Simon talks about the frog's talents: "you never see a frog so modest and trightforward as he was, for all he was so gifted"
I hope this helps!
