The mutual trust between Frank and trust turned out to be fatal for Kenny.]]> 2019-02-05 14:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327786182 Audrey https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327786244 (Pg 86, Paragraph 5)
 
“You could've killed me.”  
“Come on, Tub,” said the man beside the driver. “Be mellow. Kenny was just messing around.”

(Pg 89, Paragraph 5)

"I was lost."
"You were lost. Big deal."

The lack of sincerity or concern they have for each other is concerning. It sets a baseline for the type of friendship they have (negative/toxic), and foreshadows future events as a result. 

How do the actions of the friends impact the story? How would the outcome have changed if they acted differently?

Spokane is a city in Washington state and would explain the kind of storm and snow the characters are up against. 

In this regard does the setting provide more context for the short story?

Or is the setting not as important?]]> 2019-02-05 14:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327787072 Jacob Nelson https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327788576  
P4: The truck barely hitting Tub could foreshadow a possible accidental or purposeful death caused by the driver of the truck.

It also appears that Tub is still able to impress Frank, as he is quick to lash out when insulted a few too many times (lines 130-135).]]> 2019-02-05 14:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327789678 Ben (2) https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327789827  
  • “I was lost.” “You were lost. Big deal.” (lines 44-45). Foreshadowing wrong turn.
  • Frank says “Drop dead” to Kenny = expression of contempt (line 70, foreshadowing Kenny being shot by Tub)
  • “This definitely takes the cake (Frank)”, “What’s eating you?” (Frank making bad jokes about Tub)

"You ask me how I want to die today, I'll tell you burn me at the stake" (paragraph 31) - Kenny, as an idle remark also adds onto the heavy foreshadowing.]]> 2019-02-05 14:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bohnstad/2wef7wnshag2/wish/327799153
