Which theme is shown most clearly in this part of the
story?
Sometimes I slip and say my little brother Raymond. But
as any fool can see he's much bigger and he's older too.
But a lot of people call him my little brother 'cause he
needs looking after 'cause he's not quite right. . . . If
anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say
about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don't
play the dozens or believe in standing around with
somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather
just knock you down and take my chances even if I am a
little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is
how I got the name Squeaky.
