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>
