State the reasons Bambara may have titled this short story "Raymond's Run."

By giving it this title, the author is letting us know
that the story is about Raymond. In a way, Squeaky runs the race for him and changes the
way she looks at running.  Squeaky (whose real name is Hazel) is the narrator.  Raymond
is her older brother, but he is slow.  Much of Squeaky's time is spent protecting him. 
This includes making sure other kids don't tease him.  Sometimes Raymond can be
embarrassing.  During the race, Squeaky watches him run and realizes that it's ok to be
different.

Squeaky is a good runner, and she wants to win
the May Day race more than anything.  When she first starts, she just wants to beat
everyone else and particularly Gretchen.  Yet when she runs, she notices Raymond running
on the other side of the fence.  In an intense moment of introspection during the race,
Squeaky realizes that running is something Raymond might be able to do, even though he
cannot do everything a regular boy can.

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.

Squeaky is happy because she sees
her brother differently, and she realizes that there is something in which they can
understand each other, and an area where they can be equals.
