Biography: 

The younger of the Griers' two sons who narrates the story also narrates "Two Soldiers" and "Shingles for the Lord." His first name is never mentioned in any of these texts. He is nine years old, but in this story his perspective and voice often seem to belie his young age and his class background. At such moments he can sound more like Faulkner than like a poor white child.
