"B" is backing

When Jack found he couldn't carry a particularly lively sheep, he resorted to grabbing her hind legs and backing up, swearing uncouthly all the way.

"C" is cared

Jack's reaction to the mixed sheep shows how little he cared about Aguirre and his rules.  But Ennis was all there for following the rules.

Interesting article Fran.
Imagine: A three year visa as a herder.
No mention of beans, though.

"D" is dragger

In his frustration at the mix-up, Jack became an uncouth dragger and flinger of sheep.

Hampered by faint or missing paint brands and a language barrier, Ennis, Jack, and the Chilean sheepherders endeavor to untangle the mixed sheep.

"F" is fading
« Reply #12294 on: April 03, 2007, 10:51:27 am »
Annie Proulx describes the fading mood on Brokeback:

"There was a damn miserable time for five days, Ennis and a Chilean herder with no English trying to sort them out, the task almost impossible as the paint brands were worn and faint at this late season.  Even when the numbers were right Ennis knew the sheep were mixed. In a disquieting way everything seemed mixed."

Jack was grunting various uncouth epithets whilst dragging and flinging sheep.

With little couth and much cussing, Jack irons out some of the mixed sheep problem.

"J" is justifying

Ennis was justifying the need to please Aguirre; they might have to work for him again.

"L" is linguistically

Ennis and Jack are linguistically challenged when it comes to communicating with the Chilean sheepherders.
