"A" is accomplish

AP: Were you trying to accomplish something specific with this story?

Proulx: No. It was just another story when I started writing it. I had no idea it was going to even end up on the screen. I didn't even think it was going to be published when I was first working on it because the subject matter was not in the usual ruts in the literary road.

Annie Proulx tells the story behind "Brokeback Mountain"

"C" is crescendoing

In the lakeside argument, as Jack continues his crescendoing, we come to realize that Ennis, on the other hand, begins to diminuendo.

Ennis endangers Joe Aguirre's herd when he spends the whole night with Jack in the main camp.

When Ennis didn't return with the week's groceries, Jack thought he would have to fend for himself.

A few old AMPAS dinosaurs like Ernest Borgnine and Tony Curtis couldn't get past the genders of Ennis and Jack.

"H" is harassing

Jack tolerated L.D.'s harassing behavior at Thanksgiving up to a point but in the end refused to bend, offering to levitate his hind end into the following week.

"I" is insult-filled

The bikers had no intention of cleaning up their insult-filled remarks at the Independence Day picnic until Ennis bared his teeth.
