- Or like last week when she won the spelling bee for the millionth time. "A good thing you got 'receive' Squeaky, 'cause I would have got it wrong. I completely forgot about the spelling bee." And she'll clutch the lace on her blouse like it was some narrow escape. Oh, brother.

Explanation:

'Raymond's Run' penned by Toni Cade Bambara is a short story that explores the key idea of 'searching your identity to respect oneself as well as the others.'

As per the question, the excerpt 'or like...brother' from the story employs a narrative voice to offer a judgment regarding the behavior of Squeaky's character. The use of third-person narrative voice is reflected from the use of the third-person pronoun 'she' to explain her behavior to the readers. This makes us deduce that a narrative voice is used to throw light upon her behavior.

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.
