Hazel Kelly - The eldest child in the Kelly family. Hazel is a plump but attractive young woman who is somewhat lazy. Late in the novel she tells Mick about a job opening at the local Woolworth's store.
Bill Kelly - Mick's older brother, in his late teens. At the beginning of the novel, Bill is the sibling Mick looks up to the most. Later, however, she realizes that she and Bill are drifting apart, so she becomes much closer to Bubber.
Etta Kelly - Mick's older sister. Etta, who is obsessed with becoming a movie actress, spends lots of time fussing over her hair, nails, clothing, and accessories. She falls ill toward the end of the novel and has to give up her job.
Bubber Kelly - Mick Kelly's younger brother and her favorite in the family. Bubber, whose real name is George, is an intelligent boy who is small for his age. He is a pleasant child until his accident with a BB gun, at which point he undergoes a drastic personality change and becomes much more of a loner than he used to be.
Ralph Kelly - The youngest child in the Kelly family. Ralph is only a baby, and we are told almost nothing about him beyond the fact that Mick often pulls him and Bubber around in a wagon.
这是米克的兄弟姐妹。都挺有意思,包括小不点拉夫。
其实巴伯应该是一个主角,不论是帮姐姐看弟弟,还是和姐姐们争东西,以及后来误伤比夫的外甥女及自己的后来表现,都可圈可点。而那次事故的其他寓意也是成人读书和孩子们不同的好案例。
