        <description><![CDATA[The development of these two characters makes their relationship very clear in the story. The American (the man is never named) seems more worldly than Jig; he speaks Spanish and plays the role of "teacher" to what he considers to be her less sophisticated self. He is pushy and even domineering in their conversation. He shows no sign of empathy or sympathy for her; he is self-centered and arrogant. In his arrogance, he assumes to be the expert...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The train station is the thing that first comes to my mind. The two main characters are on a journey (both literal and metaphoric). There's also the landscape and the references in the text to the fertility and infertility of the soil. The young woman, Jig, doesn't speak Spanish, which may help to show that she's apparently in a more vulnerable, less empowered position than the male character. Those three items show a connection between the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ross Leckie calls these stories "Plot-resistant narratives," which is a paradox and an oxymoron.  Both stories are told in a bare-bones, plain/tough style: a volley of intimate conversation with few dialogue tags.  Baker and Hemingway are masters of subtext: what is not said is more important that what is said.  Both stories are told in medias res: the reader is propelling into the middle of them.  What's happening is just as important as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The dialogue in "Hills Like White Elephants" is almost as short as the phrase, "The elephant in the room." The dialogue is short and to the point but actually does not provide much information in terms of who exactly the man and woman named Jig really are and of their relation to one another. Much like the woman's name suggests, the couple is doing a dance together through their dialogue but still remain on their own as they complete each...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The general term "fiction" is a form of art or entertainment that is largely derived from imagination, although it may be based on real events.  Specifically, "prose fiction" as a form of literature is the more artful of the two.  "Hills Like White Elephants" is, therefore, a work of art.  It has been canonized as a "classic" short story and included in a larger body of work (in this case, anthologies that continue to be taught in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, what you are talking about is symbolism. The hills represent some greater truth, idea, or value than they do at first glance.
In order to get a good idea of what the hills are symbolic of, the reader has to have a good idea of what the story is about.  In short, the man in the story wants the woman to have an abortion, and she is not so sure about it.
In this context, the setting becomes more important.  The hills are described as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jig (most commonly known as The Girl) had found out that she was pregnant with her lover when they were traveling in Europe after spending nights in bed together. At the time, she was sitting at the table, drinking liquor and alcoholic drinks and talking to the American, who advised her into aborting the baby that she was carrying with her.
She was facing a dilemma and a big problem to consider: to keep the baby and lose the American or to...]]></description>

There would be a mix of emotions, thoughts and feelings throughout the book and the interpretations regarding about the events at hand would be varied and mixed. There would be a different side to the story, more about the women's view than the man's view, so it would not be that accurate.]]></description>
