Hunters in the snow

Q#3. Which is the most sympathetic of the three characters? the story deals, in part, with the power struggle among the characters. Which character is the most powerful? Do the balance of power and alliances between the characters shift as the story proceeds?

Frank is the most sympathetic of the three characters, because in pg.31, Frank says "You can't hurry the nature. If we're meant to get that deer, we'll get it. If not we won't." This shows how sympathetic Frank is and how much he cares about the deer.  I think Frank is the most powerful character. He is responsible and arranges when they fight with each other.

Q#7. What is the purpose of the scene in which Frank and Tub stop at the tavern for food and coffee, leaving the wounded Kenny in the back of the truck? During their conversation, Frank analyzes his own character and expresses remorse. Are his insights and remorse genuine? 

Why or why not?

The purpose of the scene in which Frank and Tub stop at the tavern for food and coffee, leaving the wounded Kenny in the back of the truck, is to make the book more suspence, and more interesting. Frank remorses himself and it is genuine. 

Q#8. The final plot twist comes in the last two sentences of the story. Here the narrator speaks directly to the reader, giving us information the characters don't know. How is this an appropriate conclusion to the story? What final statement is being made about the characters?

The conclusion of this story ends with the part that the writer talks to the reader directly. By this information, the writher creates an inversion to the story that says,"But he was wrong." This makes the story more interesting and it is appropriate conclusion to the story.
