"A" is aspirations

Story Ennis had aspirations for higher education - at least a sophomore - "but the truck broke down short of it, pitching him directly into ranch work. "

"B" is beefs

One of Jack's beefs is that Ennis rejected his idea of a "little cow-and-calf operation."

"C" is conventional

Jack proposed a "sweet life," but Ennis was afraid that obstacles imposed by conventional society would make such a life impossible.

"D" is desiring
« Reply #14623 on: August 31, 2007, 12:07:36 am »
Ennis knew that desiring the sweet life was not enough; surviving society's gauntlet would not be that easy.

Ennis thought that Jack's idea about the sweet life was merely fanciful .

Jack's feelings ran the gamut from high hope to despair during his long relationship with Ennis.

"H" is heartaches

Jack wanted Ennis to be the person he grew old with, the person he shared his joys and heartaches with.


Happy Birthday, Paul!

Ennis's feelings toward Jack were inchoately vague.

Eventually Jack lowers his expectations about what Ennis can give him and agrees to keeping a low profile.
