Squeaky’s trait in the initial part of the story was conceited, for, she thought she was the world’s most amazing-est runner who ever lived, and had too much pride. The utmost moment where this is shown is when Squeaky tells Gretchen to her face that she’ll beat her which proves that Squeaky thinks she is out of Gretchen’s league and is better than her (Bambara 3). Although Squeaky’s actions were minimally amiable, she still turned into a considerate person, for, she realizes that she is not the most amazing runner in the world, and Gretchen may not be as fast as her, she is still a good runner, thus, Squeaky was acting considerate. (Bambara 7). Squeaky made a great transformation in her personality all because she saw her brother Raymond run, and she learned that she is no a superior runner because she saw her brother who she was always condescending to, run at her pace. This caused Squeaky to change her ways, because she never knew Raymond was nearly as good as her, and teaches a valuable, priceless lesson of that you should never underestimate the ability of others no matter what
