"Hunters in the Snow" #7
This scene is important into revealing one of the messages of the story. I mentioned this in my previous blog, but this is the scene that best shows the type of friendship these three have. The three have a shallow friendship and do not truly care about the friendship. They are friends who make fun of each other and just say their problems. They don't help each other and this proves that. They go into eat while Kenny is laying in the freezing cold on the back of the truck. He was shot! He needed to go to the hospital but the other two were too selfish to take him straight there. They figure it won't make any difference, but at the end when the narrator says "but he was wrong" when Kenny says he is going to the hospital it shows that they never make it and Kenny is most likely going to die. This is terrible! Also, they do not help each other because Tub reveals that he has no gland problem. Instead of giving advice, Frank makes him eat a ton of pancakes. Why would a friend want to encourage a problem like that? A real friend would try to help them get over something like this.
