By the end of the story, Squeaky is a completely different person. She respects Gretch and Raymond and she has become confident in herself. "Cause she's good, no doubt about it." Instead of rubbing it in that she won, she can compliment Gretchen and give her a true smile. She also learns to respect Raymond. As she watches him climb the fence after the race, she realizes, "Raymond would make a very fine runner" (27). She's ready to give up running to coach Raymond because she has many other things she can be good at. She is no longer so insecure about herself that she has to be the best runner.
Raymond's run takes place in Harlem, New York City. The story follows the life of Squeaky, a young girl who excels at running and cares for her brother, Raymond. The race in the story is held in the local park in Harlem.
Oh, dude, the rising action in "Raymond's Run" is basically all the stuff that happens leading up to the main conflict. It's like when Squeaky starts training for the May Day race and realizes her brother Raymond can actually run fast. So, it's all the build-up and tension before the big showdown.
"Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara contains allusions to Greek mythology, such as the reference to the myth of Mercury/Hermes, the messenger of the gods, representing Swot's speed and agility in running. The story also alludes to the biblical story of the prodigal son, as Squeaky learns to embrace her brother Raymond's talents and abilities.
The autohr describes Raymond as a city within a city, sort of like Vatican City within Rome.
