Favorite Annie Proulx Quotes http://www.annieproulx.com/forum/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=13 In an interview in a Wyoming newspaper, Annie Proulx, who wrote the original story on which the Ang Lee film is based, corrected the common misconception about her two characters. P.S. As I...

Here are two excellent links for those who want to really get into a deep discussion of the movie and the short story: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/quotes http://www.annieproulx.com/forum/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=696&

The Use of Distance The use of distance. Both the story and the movie make good use of sight at a distance. This one sentence combines distant vision with a motif of darkness and light. Jack is a black speck sometimes seen against a background of light. Ennis is a small but constant...

Here is a link with an interesting discussion of the expression "stem the rose" as well as a few other terms in Proulx' story. http://www.languagehat.com/archives/002214.php

Thanks for the information, Venus. I just finished viewing the original story in the New Yorker, and printing it to 10 pdf pages/files. I am about to read it carefully, but just now, glancing quickly through it, I am impressed by how true the move is to various descriptive passages and...

I saw the movie today and liked it very much. I am going to read the original story in the New Yorker using my complete New Yorker CD set. I am able to print out the story from the CD, and I am able to print to a virtual pdf printer from http://verypdf.com which is a handy little trick. I...

Thanks for the link! http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2006/01/07/1136609985601.html http://theage.com.au looks like an interesting periodical, so I created a folder, Periodicals, in my netvouz.com bookmark account and added it. Another link I want to add is http://www.aldaily.com (Arts...

Loss of Bookmarks Your mishap with lost bookmarks caught my eye. I was using chipmark.com but experienced problems connecting to their server so I switched to netvouz.com. http://www.netvouz.com allows you to create an accound for yourself, bring it up from any computer, view all your...

My wife is addicted to the weekly series "Gilmore Girls". I did not care for it at first, but she purchased an entire season on DVD. So, to be sociable, I sat with her and watched with her for four hours straight. Some things are acquired tastes, like ripe olives, sharp cheeses, strong...

I am happy you caught on to my attempt at humor. Some people feel she goes too often, but I did not want to put it that way.

Yes, folks! Greeting Cards are a genre; a pallet and easel of tobboganing self-expression. I am under orders from my wife to write something for her mother, for a special card to be presented to her upon her auspicious 70th birthday. None of her six children seems particularly motivated...

A SEARCH on Ruark in this forum reveals nothing, so perhaps I am safe in posting this, and shall not be held guilty for redundancy. As a child, I was always conscious of “Something of Value”, a Readers Digest selection, on our bookshelves. My parents were not great readers. It is strange...

Postscript on Yahoo You can feel free to try them all, since you can uninstall (hey, that rhymes). Except, MSN seems to be pesky about uninstalling, as I remember. A word to the wise regarding Yahoo. If you ever sign up for anything at yahoo, then file a hard copy print out of everything...

AIM does not require AOL Anyone may download and use AIM, and register a screen name of their choice (if not already taken). I have AIM, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ running simultaneously. I find Yahoo email to be the most pleasant to use. I used ICQ 6 years ago, and it was more prone to...

World Clock - add just the cities you need The above is just an example with four cities around the world. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html World Clock in fixed format showing all cities around the world at once, relative to a given fixed time in one city.

The bent knee- on bended knee Perhaps in the story you could have some mention of someone kneeling, genuflecting, with bent knee, the bend of the knee resembling the L and the room, with some notion of supplication, or surrender.

I could not find anything in google The first thought that came to mind is to coin the word Lamdoid, except the Greek letter Lambda is more like an upside down V than an L. Since the essence of the L shape is orthogonal, or right-angled, I thought of orthogonal. The word angular or angle...

Audio My apologies if this has already been posted. The following link has an audio pronunciation available, but I am at the moment on a computer with no speakers. http://www.bartleby.com/people/Dostoyev.html Here are two other links on the pronunciation...

Thanks, sounds like something I would enjoy Thanks for a valuable suggestion! We date ourselves slightly with Jack Paar's favorite expression 'I kid you not'. I watched him all the time when I was age 11, 12, especially in the summer, when I could stay up late.
