Explanation:

"Raymond's Run" is a short story written by Toni Cade Bambara; in this, the main character and narrator is Hazel Parker or Squeaky. In the excerpt presented, Squeaky explains to keep her legs and knees strong she "high-prance down 34th street like a rodeo pony". But besides this, she recognizes she does this even if other people do not seem to agree with it "even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she’s not with me ...I am somebody else’s crazy child". This shows Squeaky is independent and does not care about the opinion of others even the one of her mother, also she is not trying to show anything to other people but only to herself. Thus, the narrative voice reveals Squeaky does not care about how she looks to others.
