After some awkward fumbling, Jack and Ennis become intimate.

Jack had a good grip on Ennis, and on rodeoing.

"H" is hugs

Ennis walks over to the bassinet where baby Francine is wheezing and coughing.
He picks up Francine and cradles her. Two-year-old Alma Jr. gets out of her little bed and toddles over to her Daddy, hugs his leg as he rocks Francine.   [screenplay]

"I" is Isolde
« Reply #6224 on: August 17, 2006, 05:23:27 pm »
This is the kind of thwarted love that goes back to Tristan and Isolde. To extend Proulx's metaphor, Jack has unlocked the tumblers of Ennis' heart and in panic Ennis throws away the key.

"J" is junkyard

With all the dead pickups lying around, the area around the trailer looked like a junkyard.

"K" is kindheartedness
« Reply #6226 on: August 17, 2006, 05:29:14 pm »
The kindheartedness of Mrs. Twist Sr. balances the yokelishness of John C. Twist, but can never make you forget his rudeness.

"L" is limited

"Annie actually wrote a note in the limited edition of the story she gave me saying that the name of my character Jack Twist actually refers to the strength a rodeo rider must have in his legs to hold on to a bull, and that it is symbolic of the strength you need to hold on to something you truly believe in that makes you feel alive."

Ennis spoke in a low murmur.

"N" is nomenclature

Jack was nown to get his nomenclature wrong sometimes, such as when he referred to his "vertebrates."
