"'I'm going to the hospital,' Kenny said. But he was wrong. They had taken a different turn a long way back." This ending of the story confirms our suspicions that Tub and Frank don't really care whether Kenny lives or dies. Our first clue is when the two men stop the first time to warm up. They leave Kenny in the cold truck and go in to eat, drink, and talk. When they start to tell each other secrets, we know the two of them are...

The climax is when Frank and Tub stop to warm up, and they start bonding with each other. Both of them are totally unconcerned about Kenny, who is cold and wounded in the truck. We know that Kenny has a serious wound, yet the two men are in no hurry to get him help. We realize that Tub and Frank don't care about Kenny, and he will probably die.

When Frank and Tub stop to warm themselves up, this demonstrates how little they care about Kenny. Most people would rush a friend to the hospital immediately, but Frank and Tub think of themselves first, leaving Kenny to suffer in the truck alone. The hunting trip is symbolic of what should be a male-bonding experience based on the environment the three men have been raised in. Kenny bullies the other two, teases them, and plays jokes on...

The twists in the story are more meaningful and substantial because Wolff is making a parody of the beliefs held by American Romantic writers (think of Thoreau and Whitman) who believed several key ideas: cities are vile and corrupt, the wilderness is a place of natural beauty and a place where one can gain a higher sense of truth, women are to be distrusted because they often try to corrupt and domestic man. In many Romantic works, a male...
