In the short story “Hills like White Elephants” written by Ernest Hemingway, I found there was a ton of symbolic meanings as the author told the story. This story gave a lot of opportunity for you to come up with a lot of your own conclusions. The plot of the story opens up at a train station surrounding by trees and hills in Spain.

Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…
