I've got raymond walking on the inside close to the buildings, 'cause he's subject to fits of fantasy and starts thinking he's a circus performer and that the curb is a tightrope strung high in the air. 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. then i get hit when i get home. or sometimes if you don't watch him he'll dash across traffic to the island in the middle of broadway and give the pigeons a fit. what method of characterization does this passage use to develop raymond as someone with an imagination? how other people treat raymond how the narrator describes raymond what raymond says himse
