Raymond's Run Compare And Contrast
You probably would have never thought to compare “Everything Will Be Okay” and “Raymond’s Run.” Why? Because they are 2 totally different stories, but actually, these two stories are very similar when it comes to theme.. In Raymond’s Run by Toni Cade Bambara, the narrator (Squeaky) is very protective over her brother, Raymond. However, her being protective sometimes leads her to losing friends rather than gaining friends. She isolates herself from other people, and if she becomes really close with someone she will distance herself as much as possible. She was completely rude to Gretchen and Rosie and in my perspective, it was for no reason. She shuts people out so much it’s like second nature to her. This causes her personality to change,

    Raymond's Run Quotes

    Music can give you a new view on something like how beautiful creatures can relate to the feelings of others and how they feel about stuff like racing or differences of others. The author of “Raymond's Run”, is Tiny Cade Bambara. The main characters are Squeaky, Raymond, and Gretchen. During the story, Squeaky has to defend her brother who can't take care of himself and is stereotyped by everyone. No, I think that there are too many striations on people and that it does not matter who you are, you can have fun like in beautiful creatures. I believe that Music can influence the way you act to others and the way you think about them. The quote talks about race is no way to judge people. “we are so different yet the same.” this quote from beautiful…

    Comparing Lessons Learned In Raymond's Run And Thank You, Ma Am

    Starting off, one thing that both stories are similar on is that Roger and Squeaky learn to become more approachable through other people around them. They both learn through their peers, and whether they like the person or not, they still are taught a very important theme of life. An example of this in Raymond’s Run is when Squeaky thinks to herself, “And she nods to congratulate me and then she smiles. And I smile. We stand there with this big smile of respect between us. It’s about as real a smile as girls can do for each other, considering we don’t practice real smiling every day.” This is demonstrating how Squeaky learns to become more approachable towards others, and by doing this she becomes a person that others want to be around. Even though she was never friends with Gretchen, it shows that it doesn’t matter who gives you the new state of mind, and a lesson is a lesson.…
