"Hunters in the Snow" by Tobias Wolff 2

My opinion of these characters change throughout the story. At the beginning, I felt sympathy for Tub because he is constantly picked on and put down. However, as the story goes on Tub ends up shooting his friend and assisting in leaving him to die. I believe that Frank and Tub went a different direction on purpose. They even said in the story that they didn't have the directions, but they remembered the way. This leads me to think that it was done on purpose. They have found happiness with a friendship between the two of them. With three people, one person was always left out or the butt of all the jokes. They've taken one out of the picture and solved their problem.
