The short story, Hills like White Elephants, is essentially a conversation between a woman (Jig) and a man (unnamed, but referred to as The American) at a train station. Although this story is a conversation, neither of them truly communicate with each other, and they do not seem to care about the point of view of one another. The American is exasperatingly trying to convince the girl to have an operation. The nature of this operation is never clearly stated, but it is assumed to be an abortion. The man repeatedly tells her how simple the operation would be, and how everything would go back to normal after she got it done, and they would be happy again. Jig is very indecisive, and it is obvious that this topic of conversation makes her uncomfortable. She refutes all of the man’s pleads by questioning him, saying, “What makes you think so,” or “And you think then we will be alright and happy?” The man persists despite her clear hesitance, and then she finally begs him to “please, please, please, please, please, please” stop talking, realizing that the conversation is pointless. The author highlights the fact that the couple merely dance around the issue of abortion in their conversation by naming the girl’s character “Jig.” The female protagonist, Jig, evolves throughout the story in a very personal, empowering way. In the beginning of this story, Jig is submissive and passive, which is what was expected of women. Hemingway demonstrates this passiveness through the…

Results When we look at the results we must compare a native to a non-native to determine if the hypothesis is true. We determined earlier that we will compare American holly with Japanese privet, red bay with Florida anise tree, and kalmia with rhododendron. The American holly seemed to have more healthy leaves than the holly but not by much. The holly had 127 leaves with no damage while the privette had 139 leaves with no damage. The holly then had 97 leaves with less than ten percent damage…
