Raymond's Run JKay

1. signify


Denote or connote
"I don’t think you’re going to win this time
," says Rosie, trying to signify with her
hands on her hips all salty, completely
forgetting that I have whupped her behind
many times for less salt than that.
He wanted to signify that his food was better quality.
　


2. prefer


Like better; value more highly
I’m ready to fight, cause like I said
I don’t feature a whole lot of chit-chat, I
much prefer to just knock you down right from the jump and save everybody a
lotta precious time.
I prefer wireless mouse over a mouse with a cable.


3. hustle


Move or cause to move energetically or busily
And I don’t have to earn my pocket money by hustling; George runs errands
for the big boys and sells Christmas cards.
"What’s all this hustle about?" Asked the man.


4. periscope


An instrument providing a view of an obstructed field
He
looks around the park for
Gretchen like a periscope in a submarine movie.
When the submarine captain announced "Up periscope." All of the crew immediately got the periscope ready for action.


5. static


Not in physical motion
Raymond is hollering
from the swings
cause he knows I’m about to do my thing cause the man on the loudspeaker has
just announced the fifty-yard dash, although
he might just as well be giving a
recipe for angel food cake cause you can hardly make out what he’s sayin for the
static.
The boy became static after he saw the cat jump of the fence.
　


6. rowdy


Disturbing the public peace; loud and rough
The parkees unfolding chairs and chasing the
rowdy kids from Lenox as if they had
no right to be there.
The drums were too rowdy next to the Maths room.


7. slosh


Spill or splash copiously or clumsily
And sometimes after a rain he likes to step down off his tightrope
right into the gutter and slosh around getting his shoes and cuffs wet.
The baby sloshed the milk out of her Mother’s hands.


8. uptight


Being in a tense state
I’ll high-prance down 34th Street like a rodeo pony to keep my
knees strong even if it does get my mother
uptight so that she walks ahead like
she’s not with me, don’t know me, is all by herself on a shopping trip, and I am
somebody else’s crazy child.
The girl was uptight with the boy.
 
9. glockenspiel 
A percussion instrument consisting of a set of metal bars
Most of the kids in my class are carrying bass drums and glockenspiels and flutes.
The boy played the glockenspiel gracefully.

Question 2

“I always win cause I’m the best,”
I infer that Squeaky is a fast runner.

“Well, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, going to give someone else a break this year?”
I infer that Squeaky was won the race every year.


Question 3

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.
This shows the how 'Squeaky' looks like: She is a girl, with skinny arms and a squeaky voice.
This is showing sight imagery.

I was once a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant when I was in nursery school,
This is also imagery of sight.

I’m the fastest thing on two feet.
Also imagery of sight.

Question 4

But a lot of people call him my little brother cause he needs looking after
cause he’s not quite right.
This tells us that Raymond is (unfortunately) mentally handicapped.
