Raymond's Run Paragraph

Raymond's Run is a Coming of Age story and Realistic Fiction.
Realistic Fiction:
"And I don't have to earn my pocket money by hustling"
This shows the story is realistic fiction because small children get pocket money and sometimes by hustling.
"Every time, just before I take off in a race,"
Again having a running race is a realistic thing that could happen in school and in cities.
Coming of Age:
"Cause she’s good, no doubt about it"
This is coming of age because the main character finds out that Gretchen is good and not mean.
"My brother Raymond, a great runner in the family tradition"
Through out the story Squeaky is learning that even though Raymond has disabilities it does not limit him. At the beginning Squeaky thinks that Raymond can't do anything but she thinks differently at the end. 

I think that these examples prove that Raymond's Run is a Coming of Age and Realistic Fiction story.
