Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run.” "Well, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, going to give someone else a break this year?” I squint at [Mr. Pearson] real hard to see if he is seriously thinking I should lose the race on purpose just to give someone else a break... "That new girl should give you a run for your money.” He looks around the park for Gretchen like a periscope in a submarine movie . . . I give him such a look he couldn’t finish putting that idea into words. Grownups got a lot of nerve sometimes.

The narrative voice in this passage allows readers to make a judgement about

Gretchen.
Mr. Pearson.
the race.
the park.
