Hills Like White Elephants
This story was pretty confusing and like most people, I read it more than once to attempt to understand what was going on. The characters are American in a foreign country, I believe Spain, in which the girl does not speak Spanish. They are sitting at a bar/cafe place where the man translate what the waitress says. It seems like its a nice day outside, clear and hot. The two are drinking beer waiting for a bus to come take them to Madrid. The story is confusing but it does make since that the two are talking about an abortion. The guy wants the girl to get on and says its not really an operation and that she wouldn't mind it. Clearly the guy does not want to be a father. He wants it go back to how it was before she got pregnant. He said its the only thing thats made them unhappy. The girl just does not know what she wants and just says she'll do it cause "I don't care about myself." She gets all annoyed and just tells the guy to stop talking. Its confusing to read at first, it definately took me twice to even realize what was actually going on.
