Short Story #289: Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway
Title: Hills Like White Elephants
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Summary

Reflection
Nothing is quite what it seems, which is to be expected with Hemingway. This short glimpse into the lives of this couple gives us enough to know that they have little chance of survival in the long run and that she is uncertain about whether she will have the surgery (in all likelihood, an abortion) or not. The tension and angst is palpable within the story as we are interrupted time and again by the peripheral elements like drinks, scenery, etc.Short Story #289 out of 365
