Idiots in the Snow

"Kenny looked at Tub. He smiled. 'I ahte that tree,' he said, and fired again. Tub hurried to catch up with Frank. He started to speak but just then the dog ran out of the barn and barked at them. 'Easy, boy,' Frank said." -(pg. 192
First of all, there are just so many things wrong with the characters in this story. Tub seems like a nice enough guy. Then he turns out to be lying about his glandular condition and reveals his insecurity. (By the way, his name sounds like "tubby"- is that important?) And Frank (whose name shows his personality) was very honest and kind of the "voice of reason" in this story. And then he confessed that he's going to leave his great wife and kids for the fifteen-year-old babysitter. That's just weird. I think that might be his tragic flaw. And then there is Kenny. I'm not sure if his name reveals anything about his personality, but I don't think so. If so, his name would be Jerky or something really inappropriate. Obviously, because of his foul language, constant provocative jives at Tub, and really mean attitude throughout the story, I really hated him. I think he was by far the least-likable character. Even though he didn't totally deserve to get shot by Tub, with his belittling, mean temperament, he was sort of asking for it.
