I LOVE JACK when he responds to every single time Ennis pushes one of his buttons, teasing him, especially the quasi-rodeo ride and the harmonica.

(This is related to Rodney's latest post).  I love Jack for recognizing that Ennis really needed some humor, goofiness and lightheartedness in his life.

     I loved Jack and his eternal ability to "shake it off"  move on ie.  The Thanksgiving quarrel with L.D.

I love the close-ups of Jack's face when he lovingly looks at Ennis ride off. I also love when he puts his head down in the DE, love how he tells off L.D., and I love when he says to Lureen-"I never gave any thought," after she asks him why husbands don't never want to dance with their wives.

I love how he was willing to take a chance to live the "sweet life" with Ennis regardless of society's homophobia.

I also love the fact that he was a nice and caring young man.



For how long? As long as we can ride it; ain't no reins on this one.

i love Jack

for his strength, and in the same time, his weakness,

to choose living such hard  life in order to keep the love of his life.

One thing I couldn't understand about Jack is why he kept those shirts hidden lo those many years. I don't think Jack could've kept them a secret very easily. It must have been very hard for him. He probably kept the shirts at Lightning Flat instead of Childress because otherwise he would have been tempted to bring them out and show them to Ennis and/or his wife or Randall.

        I love how Jack took Ennis's offer to switch...
        Even though that wasn't what he was looking for.
        He was saying he wanted for both of them to stay in the camp...
        He realized he had stepped in it,,,,and then had to agree.

I love Jack for the joy he found in his own music (harmonica, singing)... and that he felt the urge to share these things with Ennis.
