"W" is watcher

Although Ennis gets full credit for sorting the sheep in Annie Proulx's story, he was reduced to just a watcher, working with the dogs in the movie.  Poor Jack Twist and the exiguousness of the credit for him.

"B" is boldly

Jack Twist boldly drove up for a return engagement with Joe Aguirre's sheep operation on Brokeback Mountain.   Suddenly he needed to shave and to use his mirror.

"E" is evenings
« Reply #12317 on: April 03, 2007, 06:35:24 pm »
Ennis Del Mar has enjoyed one of the best evenings of his young life:

"Ennis, riding against the wind back to the sheep in the treacherous, drunken light, thought he'd never had such a good time, felt he could paw the white out of the moon."     [Proulx]

"F" is flings
« Reply #12318 on: April 03, 2007, 06:38:17 pm »
There were several important flings:  the boys have their two-, three-times-a-year fishing flings; Jack flings sheep in 1963; Cassie flings her hair at Ennis circa 1978.

=comment=
Sorry, I've got flings on the brain today.
Maybe we could do a whole flings round?
