In the beginning of the story they try to prove who is the toughest out of the three of them and who will stay the longest. They go to New Jersey for their overnight camping trip and are not very prepared. After losing Max and not having enough food they realize that they cannot face these challenges that they encounter. Throughout the story the boys figure out that none of them are tough enough to be out on their own in New Jersey and they are not prepared for this trip. First, Horse struggles with what it means to be a man and tough. For example Horse brings a mattress on their camping trip and canned beans.

At the point in their journey the boys wanted to know what way they were headed, North, South, East, or West. They asked Max because he had got a new compass from his mom and dad, but he does not know how to read it. He would always say that they were heading North because he would read it wrong to his friends and they believed that he was right because he was the smartest kid in the group.

    In lines 14-15, Dabydeen remarks how Max “used to dream about being in Canada,” demonstrating his now-smothered fantasies about the place he could once live. In parallel, the author includes mention of Max’s nostalgic dreaming of the island, “He pictured the faces of the fellas on the island,”(lines 53-55) alluding to the lingering theme of regretful sacrifices. Max internally argues, through his fantasizing, that he could’ve had a reasonably stable life, had he remained on the island. His complex situation is exposed through juxtaposition once more through the contrasting statement of how this weary protagonist is “prepared for hell” (line 6), despite being in search of an impending, “sweet heaven” (line 8). This illustrates the complexity of his sense of place; he once dreamed about inhabiting Canada, yet his search of personal satisfaction is incomplete— he awaits a sanctuary in the future.
