If you truly are a winner, you never give up on yourself. And that’s the theme of Raymond’s Run, written by TonI Cade Bambara. Squeaky never gives up on herself because she is a true champion. And that's why she always pulls through despite the situation.
To prove that Squeaky is strong, she encountered one of the meanest bullies in her town with her friends and came out okay. As a matter of fact, Squeaky even made them look like idiots after they started making fun of her. Only people that can do that are the people who don't give up on themselves, because they know they are strong and can do whatever other people say they can’t do. While Squeaky was getting made fun of, she doesn’t get discouraged.
