Fayette and Lureen were unaccustomed to seeing Jack stand up to L.D.

After Alma chews him "out," story Ennis vacates the Monroe household with his hat on backwards.

"W" is wishbone

There was a wishbone in each of the family's turkeys.  Who got the wishbone and what did they wish for?

"X" is xacerrating

Alma referred to Jack Twist as "Jack Nasty," further xacerrating the tension in the kitchen.

def. = exacerbating

"A" is ambiguity
« Reply #14215 on: July 25, 2007, 12:39:22 pm »
Jake and Heath were very effective in communicating the ambiguity of their emotions in every scene.  Many scenes did involve sorrow, regret and remorse.

Cassie's bitterness is painful to see.

"C" is chagrin

Much to Jack's chagrin, Ennis wasn't receptive to him after his divorce; the result was that he had driven twelve hundred miles for nothing.

"D" is dead-ended

Cassie had to face the fact that perhaps Alma Jr. was right -- maybe Ennis wasn't the "marrying kind" -- when her relationship with him dead-ended.

"E" is evasiveness
« Reply #14219 on: July 25, 2007, 05:42:38 pm »
Jack -- driving from Childress to Riverton, looking all over town for Ennis, and then finally finding him at his new digs -- could have no idea that Ennis's continued evasiveness would deject him and send him off to Mexico.
