There are many terms we use to help define a story that assist us in understanding easier. The story, “Hills Like White Elephants” is primarily a conversation between an American…

What makes Ernest Hemingway great? Was it his writing style? Which made readers actively participate in books by forcing them to make connections. His influence on the next generation of writers? Or his ability to capture the feelings of the masses and base the themes of his books around that? I feel it was a combination of all three.

To even suggest that the young women should get an abortion would mean the American man is fairly wealthy. The man states “I’ve known lots of people that have done it” showing that this is not something new to him but is acting nonchalant about a procedure that should be taken seriously. He probably only has other wealthy friends. Their lives just sound very leisurely and the moment things…

Inferiority and shame frequently affect most of the male characters in each of the novels; whether it’s the drug users or the unemployed street gang in LETB.

last meal she will eat. The diction used and phrasing techniques lead the reader to believe that she is of importance. Specifically “let them come” as in she was okaying the people to be summoned to her to then serve her. The next line “Let me die but let them come, “ implies that she may leave the earth, but let the people come to resonate in her death and from the tone of seeming queen-like, let them mourn her.
