Choose a theme and write a paragraph that states your own interpretation of that theme in “Raymond’s Run.” Be sure to provide evidence and an explanation of your evidence.

Answer and Explanation:

Among the many themes that can be found in the short story "Raymond's Run", by Toni Cade Bambara, there is the theme of female friendship. The main character is a determined girl named Hazel. She seems to know quite well who she is and what she wants in life. That makes her more upfront, more straightforward in her relationships with others. Hazel does not feel the need to hide who she is. However, she does not sense the same in other girls. She thinks girls are not taught to be true to themselves. They are also not taught to be nice to others:

Gretchen smiles, but it’s not a smile, and I’m thinking that girls never really  smile at each other because they don’t know how and don’t want to know how  and there’s probably no one to teach us how, cause grown-up girls don’t know  either.

In the end of the story, Hazel and Gretchen compete against each other in a race. This is the first time they actually see and respect each other. Hazel realizes it is possible for girls to let their walls down:

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, you know, cause maybe we too busy  being flowers or fairies or strawberries instead of something honest and worthy  of respect . . . you know . . . like being people.

Explanation:

One theme in the story is "love can make people very generous." Squeaky loves to run, but she's willing to give it up to train Raymond as a runner. She says, "I've got a roomful of ribbons and medals and awards. But what has Raymond got to call his own?" This shows Squeaky wants Raymond to be successful too. Therefore, because of her love for Raymond, Squeaky is willing to give up what's most important to her so that he can have something he loves as well.

A student is writing a letter to the local center of government. Read the draft of the student's letter and complete the task that follows.

Last week, our school worked on the "Adopt a Highway" project on County Highway 247, where several of us students picked up trash on the side of the road. When we were done, I noticed that the next several miles of highway were littered with tons of garbage. I believe that the city could expand this project by allowing people to perform community service to pay down fines and tickets by picking up trash. This would help to beautify the highway that leads into the next town, and perhaps from there, other people will work to beautify the rest of the state. Please consider allowing people to perform community service by picking up the trash that litters County Highway 287. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP Finn didn't answer. He wanted to but fully expected the
manager would interrupt him again. "How can ice cream
change the world?" Finn thought. That was definitely one of those silly interview questions you hear about. Of
course, thinking about it, Finn remembered an incident at
a summer camp years before when ice cream may have
done just that. Finn had been returning to his cabin from
a softball game when he came upon a young camper
sitting alone on the steps. There were tears in the boy's
eyes, so Finn stopped. The boy missed his family, he told
Finn, and he had no friends at camp. Finn comforted the
little crier and took him to the camp store, buying him an
ice cream and promising that everything would be all
right. Finn introduced the boy to some of the younger
campers he knew, and then he delivered the boy back to
his cabin, cone in hand and a smile on his face. In
retrospect Finn couldn't help but think that maybe that
one ice cream cone really did change a world.


Re-write this paragraph from the perspective of the young
camper. Be sure to include descriptive details to explain how the boy felt during his encounter with Finn.

read the poem:
Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy
dear son.

Lo, ’tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages, with leaves fluttering in the
moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the
trellis’d vines,
(Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines?
Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?)

Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with
wondrous clouds,
Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful, and the farm
prospers well.

Down in the fields all prospers well,
But now from the fields come father, come at the daughter’s call,
And come to the entry mother, to the front door come right away.

Fast as she can she hurries, something ominous, her steps trembling,
She does not tarry to smooth her hair nor adjust her cap.

Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken
mother’s soul!

All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the
main words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry
skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.

Ah now the single figure to me,
Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and
farms,
Sickly white in the face and dull in the head, very faint,
By the jamb of a door leans.

Grieve not so, dear mother, (the just-grown daughter speaks
through her sobs,
The little sisters huddle around speechless and dismay’d,)
See, dearest mother, the letter says Pete will soon be better.

Alas poor boy, he will never be better, (nor maybe needs to be
better, that brave and simple soul,)
While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
The only son is dead.

But the mother needs to be better,
She with thin form presently drest in black,
By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping,
often waking,
In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep
longing,
O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape
and withdraw,
To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.

How does the language of the poem evoke a sense of a bygone time and place, specifically nineteenth century America?


The poem's references to places and people are ones that existed in that period, but which do not exist today.

The poem's depiction of the mother's sadness indicates a frailty or weakness that was commonly assigned to women in this period.

The poem's explanations of the family's reaction suggest an ignorance or an innocence that people today would not exhibit.

The poem's descriptions of the farm focus on natural elements, but make no mention of man-made tools or equipment.
