Explanation:

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. The narrator is Squeaky, whose real name is Hazel. She is a smart, determined, and competitive girl. Squeaky tries her best, no matter what the challenge is. And she clearly does not care what others think of her. She will not hide what she is doing. She will not change the way she is doing it. That is specially clear when she says, "even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she's not with me." Squeaky will do what she thinks is best for her, independently on how others seem to feel about it. She may look like "somebody else's crazy child," but the way she looks to others is not important.

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
