The attraction Jack feels for Ennis is just about instantaneous.

"J" is jury

The jury will stay out permanently on the topic of Jack's fate - ie. we will never know for sure how he died.

"K" is kinesthesia

Ennis is described as having uncommonly quick reflexes, and thus has a keen sense of kinesthesia.

"L" is lynched
« Reply #6173 on: August 16, 2006, 01:59:23 pm »
Despite the physical distance between them (Ennis is in Wyoming, Jake in Texas), they come together again and again and head back to the wild — aware that if they're caught, they could be lynched by all their neighbors, those less-than-liberal "real" men who wouldn't know a real man if he f***ed them in the ass.    Lasso Me Tender

"M" is moraine

Ennis rode along on the rocky, slippery moraine until he heard the sound of a bark from the blue heeler.

"N" is nymphomaniacal

Cassie came on to Ennis so blatantly, her behavior was nearly nymphomaniacal.
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"O" is opposing
« Reply #6176 on: August 16, 2006, 06:09:38 pm »
What's stomach-churning are the people, conservatives and liberals alike, trying to make political statements — or comedy — by opposing it. "Brokeback Mountain" deserves high praise — not sophomoric jeers.     Isaiah Z. Sterrett

"P" is pasted

Ennis (on solving his problem with K.E.):  "Dad says, you got a take him unawares, don't say nothing' to him, make him feel some pain, get out fast and keep doin' it until he takes the message.  Nothin' like hurtin' somebody to make him hear good.  So I did.  I got him in the outhouse, jumped him on the stairs, come over to his pillow in the night while he was sleepin' and pasted him damn good.  Took about two days.  Never had trouble with K.E. since.  The lesson was, don't say nothing' and get it over with quick."  [story]

"Q" is quilter
« Reply #6178 on: August 17, 2006, 01:42:20 am »
The homemade quilt on Jack's boyhood bed makes his mother Mary Twist a quilter.  If U think that Mrs. Twist "bought" the homemade quilt via mail order from Macy's Dept. Store in NY -- or mall shopping at Target! in WY -- then whomever made Jack's quilt is a quilter!

"R" is restlessness

While he is waiting for Jack to show up for the reunion, Ennis is the very image of restlessness born of anticipation.
