Lionel is "the town half-wit", slower and less intellectually active than the other boys but at the same time more sensitive and insightful. He hangs out with Ulysses, both having adventures that their parents might not necessarily approve of. He is representative of the pure joy possible in simply valuing each experience of life as it comes.
