"S" is serrated

Alma's second husband was Monroe, the Riverton grocer with the serrated blades in his carving knife.  Now that was high-class entertainment.

That fateful day in the summer of 1963 when Ennis meets his soon-to-be tryster.

"U" is unsure

Unsure of what had transpired up on Brokeback Mountain, Jack and Ennis went their separate ways.  Four years later Jack sent Ennis a postcard, and the two soul mates were reunited.

"V'' is vatic
« Reply #12334 on: April 04, 2007, 02:28:58 pm »
Ennis considered that Earl's death was a vatic tale for what might end their own lives.   

And then there's the day that the postcard was returned to him.

def - prophetic

"X" is xpeditions
« Reply #12336 on: April 04, 2007, 04:11:16 pm »
In late June of 1967 Jack and Ennis went on a "fishing" trip, the first of what would be many xpeditions into the mountains where they hoped to recapture the magic of their summer on Brokeback Mountain.

"A" is acknowledge
« Reply #12338 on: April 04, 2007, 04:52:44 pm »
According to Annie Proulx, the only place where Ennis and Jack can acknowledge their true feelings is secretly out of town, frequently in the mountains:

Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback.

Ennis was a bringer of beans at one of the later fishing trips.
