"'but the lying. Having a double life like a spy or a hit man. This sounds strange but I feel sorry for those guys, I really do. I know what they go through.'" (200)
Tub is just like any other fat man stereotypically displayed with the media, because he runs slow and gets left behind. He stashes food, and gets ridiculed by his only friand, which he has to hang around because nobody else likes him. This seems childish, but it is could explain why he is not liked by anyone in the group. Then he has very low self esteem which is classic, but many time the overweight character is funny. He he turns into his situation into a joke so as to avoid his feelings of being fat. Tub avoids talking about his feelings, at first, but he certainly, does not joke about it. He actually does the opposite. He hides in shame, eating obscene amounts of food while he pretends to be on a diet.
