Squeaky changes her thinking after she wins the race against Gretchen. She watches Raymond run and that changes her aspect on things. "... Cause I'd I've lost this race, or if me and Gretchen tied, or even if I've won, I can always retire as a runner and begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond.." , before the race Squeky was all about winning, "I'm the fastest thing on two feet.","... No one can beat me and that's all there is to it." Once she saw Raymond run, she wasn't all about herself anymore, she even dropped everything with Gretchen.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that she changed her whole out look on the races and instead of keeping her talent all to herself she wanted to use it to help Raymond become a runner
