"A" is for acceptance

Neither Jackn nor Ennis gain acceptance from their peers or from their families.

Congrats on all the views!  I will definitely mention this to Will.  Two "A"s in a row, damn, I'm good! ;D

"B" is boastful

Ennis was certainly not a boastful man -- rather, he was extremely reticent.

"D" is for dipstick

A friend of Jack's got "checked with a horn dipstick" while rodeoing, and that's all she wrote.

"F" is fantasized

Ennis fantasized about Jack when he "wrang it out a hunderd times" thinking about him.

Did you see the Jolly Green Giant in the movie at the supermarket?

Just to the west of the damn condiment aisle.

"H" is horrific
« Reply #1797 on: May 13, 2006, 12:13:26 pm »
The flashback of Jack's death is a horrific scene.


=comment=
It's more of an "imagination" than a "flashback".
That created scene is what paranoid Ennis imagined.

In the story, Mary Twist moved carefully as if she had been ill.

I prefer the Jack we got in the movie. Much prefer.
