Reaction to Hills Like White Elephants

Throughout this school year, we analyzed and discussed several abominable poems, novels and stories. One that I particularly liked would have to be pitcher Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway. The first thing about it that caught my humankindagement would have to be its title, Hills like White Elephants. To be honest, I unfeignedly thought that itll be about some elephants in Africa or something alone I was wrong. There were no elephants The story is about an American man and woman having some beers as they wait for the train to Barcelona.So, just through the title, I guess you could claim that this is an ambiguous text. To decipher it, you need to immortalize it again and again The text of Hemingway appears to be simple but thence again his works are ambiguous, so his text may be further from the truth. The story makes use of sparse dialogue some as yet say that the way Hemingways characters speak is sometimes more important than what they say so when reading his text you really have to take in the dialogue and decode it.At first, when I just went through the story, I really didnt get what the couple were talking about and then later several readings I found out that it was about abortion. Its really stunning how Hemingway could subtly bring about a message without even having it pen directly. The powerful writing of Hemingway definitely has made a huge restore in me. Aside from me discovering a beautiful story, I learned not to take everything too literally and to have patience in companionship to understand.
