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>

The first thing you should know about Rube Goldberg is that he is a cartoonist who created cartoons about crazy machine ideas like completing a very simple task using a very big production
The second thing is that many people use Rube Goldbergs machines to do stuff. There is a video on U tube which many people created a machine to light up a chirmas tree!!
An Idea is that search Rube Goldberg machines on U TUBE and get some ideas!
Hope this helped (:
You can infer that the neighbours were kind and took care of Oliver.
