I predict that Raymond will become a great runner just like squeaky. He mocks squeaky when she runs so he knows all of the tricks to running. When she was racing she looked over at Raymond and he was climbing the fence and mocking her. He mocks her at everything. Squeaky and her dad can teach Raymond how to run. Squeaky is responsible for Raymond. Raymond can’t take care of himself because he is mentally challenged. His brother use to take care of him but now it is squeaky turn to take care of him. If squeaky saw somebody picking on Raymond she would stand up for him. She doesn’t play the dozen. She would rather push them down and if stuff got really bad she would just run because she can run fast. She likes to run
