Hunters In The Snow

#3 I think Frank is the most sympathetic out of the three. I think this because when one of his friends has a problem he is the first to try and help fix it. When Tub was always talking about his diet and being fat Frank decided to stop off and get him four plates of pancakes, so he could stop worrying so much about his diet and just be full and happy with who he is. When Tub shot Kenny, Frank was the first to be extremely concerned and knew exactly what to do right away. When they were driving to the hospital his hands were becoming frozen, but instead of giving up he kept driving and driving to try and get his friend medical help. I think Frank and Tub have the power. Frank seems more like the responsible one in the group, but Tub seems to have the most respect and the “higher” authority. Yes the balance between alliance and power do change through the story because one minute Tub is in control of this whole situation and then the next Frank has to become a father figure and take care of his two best friends that are just getting themselves into more and more trouble as the story goes along.

#7 The point of Frank and Tub stopping for food and leaving Kenny behind was to show the friendship between Frank and Tub. Since Tub was on this diet and him being “fat” was such a big deal frank just wanted Tub to be happy. To show that Frank really cared about Tub and liked him just the way he is he bought Tub four plates of pancakes with extra butter and extra syrup. Frank just wanted tub to be happy with himself and not worry about anything that is bothering him and that Frank will always be there for him.
