    Squeaky In Raymonds Run

    In “Raymonds Run” by Toni Cade Bambara, Squeaky is a very confident and kind person. When Squeaky explains the fifty yard dash, she says, “There’s no track meet that I don’t win”(289). This shows how Squeaky is round because Bambara gives a lot detail about who Squeaky is and how she is very confident about herself, but never thinks that anyone could be as good as her. At the end of the dash, Squeaky says, “I can retire and coach Raymond”(295). This determines that Squeaky is a dynamic person because she has grown to not think so much about herself and be kind and think how someone could be as good as her. In “Raymonds Run”, Toni Cade Bambara uses indirect characterization to show that Squeaky is a round and dynamic character.…
