In Raymond’s run How does the author develop the rising action of the story?

The exposition takes place at the beginning of the story and provides the audience with important background information regarding relevant events, settings, and characters. In Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run," the exposition includes Squeaky's description of herself and her mentally disabled older brother, Raymond. The audience learns that Squeaky is a fast runner and esteemed sprinter, who lives in Harlem, New York. Squeaky enjoys practicing running. She is in charge of watching Raymond, who follows her everywhere and who is rather difficult to look after.

The rising action includes Squeaky's tense interaction with Mary Louise, Rosie, and Gretchen, which takes place while Squeaky is strolling down Broadway with Raymond. Squeaky sticks up for Raymond when the girls make snide remarks. She is determined to beat her new rival Gretchen at the May Day races. The rising action also includes Squeaky arriving at the local May Day celebration to participate in the fifty-yard dash. The rising action continues as Squeaky makes her way to the starting line and ends when the climax begins.

The climax includes Squeaky racing against Gretchen in the fifty-yard dash. During the race, Squeaky notices that Raymond is running stride-for-stride with her on the outside of the fence and is impressed by his speed. The falling action includes Squeaky hearing the results of the race and thinking about coaching Raymond. Squeaky believes that Raymond could become an excellent runner, and she is willing to help him achieve his potential. The denouement includes Squeaky smiling at Gretchen and entertaining the idea of asking her to help coach, Raymond.

The benefits of cooking classes are so great that all schools should offer cooking as part of the standard curriculum. Food preparation is a skill that students will use throughout their lives.

But the benefits of cooking classes go beyond learning to chop, mix, and sauté. I mean, admit it: Cooking is way better than having to take a boring class like nutrition or science, and you can learn some of the same stuff. Plus, it's kinda fun, and you get free food.
