Who is Ramos and Ricardo from Stop-time and what is their importance? Stop-time English & Literature Ramos and Ricardo | Stop-time

Ramos and Ricardo appear as a pair of mysterious visitors to the author's Florida home town. They introduce him to and train him in his final childhood obsession—manipulation of a yo-yo, in which they are showy experts. Their contribution to the author's life and growth is significant in that the yo-yo is, as the author himself points out, the first and among the most important element of his childhood to go by the wayside when he becomes more interested in the more adolescent pastime of sexual fantasy.
