Jack whistled along to the song playing on the eight-track tape; in this case, "King of the Road."

Thank you Fran, I am sure Jack listened to both the radio and his eight track tapes on such a long trip.

The scene in which Ennis and Alma come tobogganing down the snowy hill, can be referred to as the honeymoon ride scene.

"I" is idealist

Although Jack seemed to be an idealist, the commitment and harmony he craved from his relationship with Ennis was achievable; if only they could overcome their fears long enough to pursue these dreams.

Few people in this story/film are knowledgeable about the heart of a human being, except for Mrs. Twist, Jack's mother.

After that summer in 1963, BOTH Ennis and Jack found it impossible to have a real loving relationship with anyone else.
