“Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway uses the Modernist elements of dialect while focusing on the concrete parts of it's story and setting, along with the strong sense of alienation that comes from the characters.
Hemingway uses the Modernist style of only focusing on concrete details and using dialect to keep things to the point, even if it's in a bit of an elusive way. He doesn't mention it directly in the story, but it becomes apparent the “The American and the girl with him”, are a couple that are arguing over an abortion. The girl doesn't seem to want the abortion, but the man with her seems pretty adamant on her having one; this leads to the tension and feelings of isolation you get from the dialect. The story is very compressed
