Plot and Theme
The story Raymonds Run can inspire people in many ways. Anywhere from carrying on a running career ; or even showing that even though you have problems with the way you were born, it cant stop you from doing what you want.I know it expired me and it could also inspire you as well. Raymonds Run helped me see things in a different perspective. Now i will see things differently and think different about them.This story can really change lives and the way people think. It lets people believe that you can do or be whatever you put your mind to. It doesnt matter how you were born.

Awesome book
