That is the question. We have seen the fantastic development of Ennis in the LS. I don't recall seeing a similar investigation of Jack's development in any stories leading up to the meeting after the divorce or after the last confrontation by the lake. Most of the stories concentrate on Ennis. How about a story of Jack's growth while working in Childress and coming to grips with Ennis' "If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it."?

I am not quite sure what you mean with your question, scudder.

Louise, I was wondering if Jack could have developed and grown along the way so that he could have finally gotten through to Ennis, by threathening suicide or not continuing or whatever, so that his death which did get through to Ennis, would not have been necessary. In other words, though it did not happen n the short story, could he have developed, like you have shown Ennis' development, to such an extent that he would not have been so passive and accomodating to Ennis' wishes and could have convinced Ennis to change as you have so beutifully shown he could and did chage after Jack's death. A totally another story.
