             This is whom we know as jimmy throughout the play. Jimmy has one thing to live for now and that his burning ambition to find his mother. His first words in the play " I"m finally gunna meet my mother". Jimmy is a bit of brat in the play, finding this out by only the fourth scene. When he is tells the roosters to shuddup or they will get him in trouble. He thinks he is in invincible and says what he wants when he wants. Talking about going to a man and a woman's home he quotes "Christ anything would be better-". Jimmy is very independent yet dependent later on in the play, nothing worries him like stealing apples from the neighbor's garden. Yet when the thought of maybe never seeing his mother again comes into play that terrifies him. He cries out in the darkness for his mother and lives in a state of denial. Quoting " She's not dead, she's not. Jimmy is not the brightest of the bunch either. When ruby comes back she has a very sad tone to her words and jimmy doesn't not see that she is sad and something not pleasant has happened. Again on the third line-up jimmy is still oblivious to what happened to ruby when she went to the matron's house. Once jimmy comes back he now knows what the man and woman's house is all about and learns from his "gun-ho" attitude. Jimmy goes to prison and when he leaves he runs into a friend of his family. Living in denial he wouldn't accept that the man was trying to explain his mother was alive. Jimmy is really excited about meeting his mother for the first time until her finds out that she has died. Jimmy has nothing to live for anymore, a condemned man with no remorse for his actions. Once he ends up back in jail he has nothing to liver for and in turn hangs himself.
             Ruby.
             Ruby is a crazed girl from the start. You know that she is dependent on her mother coming for her, yet except for that her first actions are singing a crazy lullaby. She has schizophrenia and cannot act on her own.
