The boy: he is eight years old boy and is known to be very innocent and he admires his father a lot and tries to be like him. He is excited yet anxious for the camping trip.
Dad/ The man: he no longer lives with his wife and son as they have been separated, though no information of why they have divorced is given to us. However, we know he is not happy as it refers in the story it is written that he is an expert at blocking out pain.
Mother: she appears to be horrible towards her ex-husband as she makes it out that the man is 'mad' and is only showing off however when the boy and the man leave she gets upset. She seems to have gotten over the separation in some aspects as she has a boyfriend, Jim, who lives with her and the boy.
Jim: he is the mother's boyfriend who is very friendly and tries to befriend the boy. He seems to feel sorry for the man.
Jim is the only person in the story to be named, the rest are given names belonging to a family, making Jim an outcast.
