Sometimes I slip and say my little brother Raymond. But as any fool can see he's much bigger and he's older too. But a lot of people call him my little brother 'cause he needs looking after 'cause he's not quite right. . . . If anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don't play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. 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.
Which theme is shown most clearly in this part of the story?
You have to be tough to live in a big city.
Being small doesn’t mean you’re not tough.
It’s important to stand up for what you believe.
When it comes to family, age is not very important.

The world is totally and completely unfair.
This is not a moral judgment, it is just because much of the world is governed by physical processes, which tend to distribute resources and events in unpredictably uneven ways ("non-fair" might be a more accurate term). Even the biochemical composition of our bodies, which play a large part in determining our inherent traits and talents, is very unevenly distributed. It's pretty hard to find any two things in the world that are exactly the same.
On the other hand, humans have fairness as a moral value, though it is not universally subscribed to. Thus, making things fair is something that humans try to do, but doing so is difficult in practice (because the physical world is not fair) and despite a widespread instinctual human desire for fairness, it also runs up against an equally widespread instinctual human desire for advantage-seeking over peers.
