Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.” And I’m smiling to beat the band cause if I’ve lost this race, or if me and Gretchen tied, or even if I’ve won, I can always retire as a runner and begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond as my champion. After all, with a little more study I can beat Cynthia and her phony self at the spelling bee. And if I bugged my mother, I could get piano lessons and become a star. And I have a big rep as the baddest thing around. And I’ve got a roomful of ribbons and medals and awards. But what has Raymond got to call his own? How does this excerpt provide evidence of the theme “Real champions care about others’ feelings”? It shows that Squeaky actually lets Gretchen win. It shows that Squeaky really wants to beat Gretchen. It shows that Squeaky wants Raymond to also experience success. It shows that Squeaky wants to please her mother by getting piano lessons.
