Wolff

"Up ahead they saw some lights off the road.  It was a tavern.  Outside in the parking lot there were several jeeps and trucks.  A couple of them had deer strapped across their hoods."  (Hunters in the Snow p. 196 ¶ 157)


Well, Kenny, Tub, and Frank definitely proved their combined intelligence multiple times in the story.  I mean, the story starts with Frank and Kenny trying to run over Tub while it is dangerously icy outside.  I'm not really sure who gave these people guns, but whoever did needs to take them back or something.


I thought this quote was ironic.  After a day of unsuccessful "hunting" (I'm not even sure you can call it that...), Tub and Frank pull into a bar while Kenny is bleeding to death in the back of their truck.  The irony is established when the narrator states that some of the cars "had deer strapped across their hoods."  During the trip, Kenny, Tub, and Frank did not kill shoot any deer.  Instead of a deer, Tub and Frank have Kenny as their number one kill.  While many people go into the bar and drink, they leave the deer strapped on the car; Tub and Frank leave Kenny in the car like he is their prize.  They do not even care about how Kenny is doing, they just know that they are cold.  Great friends I'd say.  Whoever said that Frank is the most likable character in class:  I totally disagree with you.  I think Frank is a horrible person who only influences negative activity.  For example, he encourages Tub to eat after Tub admits he has a problem with overeating.  And on a lighter note, Frank is also a pedaphile who is in love with a fifteen year old girl.  Oh, and he is going to leave his wife for this girl.  Like him now?
