"Hills like white Elephants"


Hills like white elephants, is about a couple that were at the other side of a train station waiting on the train from Barcelona. And the expected arrive time for going to be in forty minutes. During their time there, they order some drinks. The bartender brought two glasses of beer out. While they we drinking, the girl mention that the hills look like white elephants, and the American did not acknowledge her, instead he order two more drinks that the girl wanted to try. She later mentions that the hills did not look like white elephants anymore, and that’s when the American told her that the operation was going to be simple and not painful. They got into an argument about whether he would still have the same emotion for her if she was to go through with the operation. The American told her that he’s not going anywhere, and that he was going to stick with her, and she said that she would do it because she did not care about herself. She said she will go through with it, so everything could be fine. She asked him do her a favor and stop talking about it. The bartender, brought two more glasses of beer, and alerted them that the train was coming in two minutes. The American carried their bags to the tracks, and when he came back to the table, he asked her if she felt better. She answered that she feels fine.
