HELP PLEASE Write a character study of either Raymond or Gretchen from “Raymond’s Run.” Create a list of character traits and supporting evidence from the story to help you gather information about your selected character. You may choose to create an organizer like the example below. In your study, identify three adjectives that describe your chosen character. Define each adjective and explain why you chose each one as a character trait. Consider the following questions as you determine the character traits you will discuss:

What does this character want very badly?
What are they willing to do to get it?
What is the consequence of this desire?
What does this desire tell us about the character?

Your character study should be approximately 200 words long, and should be written in paragraph form.

where do i read this?

One thing we know about Raymond, then, is that he is oblivious to the trouble and potential trouble around him. Of course this ensures that he is a happy boy who is content to live in his own world.

During the race, Squeaky is surprised to see Raymond running along with her on the other side of the fence,

with his arms down to his side and the palms tucked up behind him, running in his very own style, and it’s the first time I ever saw that and I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his first run.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
