Tubby Tub Tub

Of all the characters in the story, Kenny goes through the most dramatic change. At the beginning, he is talking to Frank about how fat Tub is and how he looks like a "beach ball with a hat on". Later on in the story, he is making fun of Frank because he knows the secret about the babysitter and then will not let Tub in on the secret. Up until the climax of the story Kenny is putting all of the other characters down the whole time in order to make himself feel superior. After Kenny goes on his shooting rampage and Tub shoots him back, Kenny immediately switches roles and becomes the one being put down. After that point, he is completely reliable on the other characters in order to survive. Tub and Frank take advantage of this opportunity by being careless enough to forget the directions on how to get to the hospital, and making several un-needed stops along the way. This gives Tub the chance to give Kenny back what he deserves. This is a true example of "don't bite the mouth that feeds you."
