Hunters in the Snow

     This story, Hunters in the Snow by Tobias Wolff, is actually very cute. It details a hunting trip of three friends, Tub, Frank and Kenny. while the three begin being very rude and "boyish" with each other through teasing and mean jokes, a dynamic change occurs near the end. After Kenny got shot, Tub and Frank become a little closer on the journey to the hospital. Tub and Frank are dynamic characters because of their change from rude and sarcastic to being so caring.
"Frank, when you've got a friend it means you've always got someone on your side, no matter what" (Wolff, 198).
     This quote from Tub to Frank really shows the change in them. They begin acting like 50-year-old men, with no feelings at all. However, they end as best friends. This dynamic change changes the tone of the story drastically. The three start out as acquaintances and as best friends. The change in their friendship is very admirable.
