Alma wanted Ennis to have a "decent permanent job with the county or the power company."   [short story]

"R" is roundabout
« Reply #6822 on: August 30, 2006, 04:19:43 pm »
Ennis chose a roundabout way of trying to find out if Jack had been outed.

Wow what a great Q word! So good to have U back!

Ennis is south of Brokeback Mountain when he buys the postcard from Linda at Higgins's gift shop.

Jack is described as being tremorous standing next to Ennis, who introduces him to Alma.

"U" is unconventional
« Reply #6825 on: August 30, 2006, 04:47:56 pm »
Jack would have welcomed the opportunity to have had an unconventional (at that time) lifestyle by living with Ennis, but Ennis would have no part of it.

"W" is weighty
« Reply #6827 on: August 30, 2006, 04:56:01 pm »
Lee’s camera breaths empathy and understanding into every one of its shots, ...  The lakes, mountains, highways, farms, rodeos, bars, people all resonate with the feeling of a weighty and constricting social propriety clashing against a raw, natural, hopeful vision of how things could be.       James MacDowell

"Y" is yardage
« Reply #6829 on: August 30, 2006, 05:05:46 pm »
There wasn't quite enough yardage in Alma's clothes which caused some gappage. Same with Ennis's clothes.

=comment=
Possibly a better use of the word would be that Alma had to estimate the yardage in her knitting project.
