Granddaddy
Hazel’s youngest brother. According to Granddaddy, Baby Jason is so blindly loyal to Hazel that he would follow her “into the fiery furnace” if she beckoned, highlighting the theme of family solidarity that runs throughout the story. He loves kicking the seats in the movie theater while Hazel causes trouble and putting potato chips in her hair. At the end of the story, when Hazel cries at Hunca Bubba’s betrayal, Baby Jason starts crying too. Although Jason is very young, Hazel believes he understands the importance of solidarity between children in the face of adults “turnin you round every which way so bad.”
