The "I LOVE everything Alma" thread
Ellemeno:
I love that from the other room Alma knows Alma Jr.'s nose needs wiping.
ednbarby:
I love that Alma didn't think they should sit so close to the front at the fireworks display because Jenny might get scared.
Sheriff Roland:
I LOVE Alma for the 4 years of relative pleasure and contentment that she gave Ennis after he came down from the mountain. The toboggan scene, the movie scene, the children ... they were good years.
Front-Ranger:
Why aren't there more posts here?????
After the night at the Motel Siesta, Ennis comes home and finds Alma sitting at the dinette table, in between a cup of bitter black coffee and a sugar dispenser. She is facing toward the sugar, but when he comes in, she turns and faces towards the coffee. Yup, that's how it is, and that's why I love Alma.
Front-Ranger:
A question: with Alma's sewing machine prominently featured against the wall of the living room, and with Alma's knitting, I wonder if there are other parallels to Penelope in the character of Alma? Penelope was the wife of the lead character in the Odessey.
