Hunter in the Snow

"His knuckles were hairy. He wore a heavy wedding band and on his right pinky another gold ring with a flat face and an "F" in what looked like diamonds. He turned the ring this way and that." p.189

In this short story, the character of Frank stood out to me the most. He was by far the most interesting because of his relationship with his babysitter and his wife. In addition he was probably the most normal. As in, he wasn't always picking on Tub (i.e. almost running him over) nor did he shoot someone. I did not necessarily like Frank as a character but I enjoyed reading his parts. Especially the part when they are eating food and Tub comes clean about his eating problems and that he really wants to change, then Frank makes him eat a ton of pancakes... And what better time to do this than when your best friend is outside in the cold bleeding to death? Opportunities like that don't just come all the time. Anyways, Frank was the only character that I read in this chapter that really had some sort of change or growth. This was shown as he transitioned from sticking by Kenny's side to having Tub's back, even though he did something wrong.
