Explanation Supposing Books Hills Like White Elephants
A couple. A bar. A health condition of some sort. And a small research done by a reader to understand what was going on, exactly. Mere descriptions of actions and dialogue were not enough. But the reader doesn't blame the author for her lack of perception. A detached author that seems to barely know them.A foreign in their lands.
Economy of the words. Emotions, all over the place. In silence. They have lost their names yet their presence is still felt.
Something breaks.
"We can have the whole world."
"No, we can't."

This was really really short, but it still was so good and symbolic.One of Hemingway's best short stories.
She had an abortion. That was the health ailment.
"I wanted to try this new drink. That's all we do, isn't itlook at things and try new drinks?"Ernest Hemingway ~~ Hills Like White ElephantsHills Like White Elephants may be the best example of Hemingway's Iceberg Theory. Hemingway contends that the words on the page should be merely a small part of the whole story. The words on the page are the proverbial "tip of the iceberg," and a writer should use as few words as possible in order to indicate the larger, unwritten story that resides below
The story made me feel like passing by the table of this couple right in the middle of their conversation. I felt like there might be something wrong with the woman & the man was trying to be supportive. There was no beginning nor ending. It was just that & yet it was worth being heard...
I had to read this for Creative Writing class, and it just flew right over my head. I can see the potential behind the story, I get why people love it, but I guess I'm just too young to appreciate this stuff.
Sometimes in your life you will be all alone, there are people around you , saying that they care about you, but they really don't.When you've done something wrong, but it's not just your fault and there are people deciding for you to do what, like in this story which is an ended relationship, although you're not aware that it is.The time when you want to keep the relationship, but they just want you as an object.
