Well, I'm happy to post for you, but I'll warn you, my threads have a way of sinking like stones. Pretty good with other people's threads, though!

Can't be much worse than me, then.
(Sorry, Mikaela... I couldn't resist playing Ennis on that one!)
Mikaela:
So...... what are you waiting for, - a postin' call? :D
(Sorry, couldn't resist either)
Looking forward to it, it'll be fun. Plus I sure haven't minded studying Ennis's and Jack's expressions so far - I'm sure I'm up for some more!
:)

Sorry ... I was trying to think of a clever title. I thought maybe my boring titles was why nobody ever contributed to my other threads. Once again I struck out, though, so I'm just going to go with the obvious.
UPDATE: OK, done. Now go fill it up with posts!

Heya Katherine,
Yes, I think this is true for all the reasons you point out... he even takes down L.D. in front of the whole family. I feel that this assertiveness is true of Jack in almost every case except for with his Dad. I don't have any great proof or reasoning for this, but I feel like Jack would be pretty intimidated by his Dad. Maybe I'm projecting too much of what we know of the abusive back story into the movie, but I would think this would leave Jack in a very awkward position in regards to Pa Twist.
