Reaction to Hills Like White Elephants

Throughout this coach year, we analyzed and discussed several awe approximately poems, novels and stories. One that I particularly wish welld would have to be pitcher Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway. The first thing about it that caught my attention would have to be its title, Hills like White Elephants. To be honest, I really thought that itll be about some elephants in Africa or something but 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 consecrate that this is an ambiguous text. To follow it, you need to read it once 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 flimsy dialogue some even say that the way Hemingways characters speak is sometimes more important than what they say so when reading his text you re ally have to feature 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 after several readings I found out that it was about abortion. Its really beautiful how Hemingway could subtly capture about a message without even having it written directly. The powerful writing of Hemingway definitely has made a huge impact in me. Aside from me discovering a beautiful story, I learned not to take everything too literally and to have patience in order to understand.
