Kate Chopin and Ernest Hemingway make good use of literary devices such as imagery, symbolism, irony, metaphors, and repetition to give more meaning to their beautiful stories. Literary devices create layers of meaning behind something that may not have been apparent or brought to attention without their incredible use of all these literary devices. “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin is about a woman, Louis Mallard, who learns of her husband’s death imagines a whole new free life for herself…

themselves. “Hills Like White Elephants” was written by Ernest Hemingway. That based on two characters the American man and Jig who were waiting at the humid train station to get to their destination from Madrid to Barcelona. They were seated at the bar inside the train station where they found some shade besides a bamboo bead curtain, refreshing alcohol, and discussed whether or not if Jig should continue on with her procedure.

Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” is a short story that only uses barbed dialogue to characterize a extremely tense conversation between a American man and his girlfriend, a young women named Jig. The story opens in a untraditional manner with no background, no indication of the characters emotions, and substantially seems to have no purpose. Hemingway himself gives the impression of utter detachment from the characters. He places the reader in a position as if they are listening…

This is the main conflict throughout the story, which the couple argues about non-stop until Jig tells the man to stop talking before she screamed.
