hills like white elephants

So this story was tough to comprehend, for me anyways. I didn't really get it until we talked about it in class. It was quite clever how Hemingway hid the fact that the couple was speaking of an abortion. When we spoke of it in class it became much more obvious and i wondered how i missed it. I was glad i wasn't the only one though. But because i did miss i got to look closer at the story and really think about the dialogue and subtle signs more. I liked that you had to look deeper for the story and it wasn't like all the other that you just read it and already know what its about. Hemingway played with my mind and i really liked it ha. I wish more stories were like this so we could get more into stories. I even read this story again to put what we talked about in class into play. I really enjoyed it when i could see what we were talking about. Although the topic was a little rough because who wants to talk about a sensitive story like abortion, its so controversial. But i liked the way Hemingway writes, he really makes you work for the point of the story.
