Hills Like White Elephants

Hemingway did a fantastic job using descriptive details and really setting the scene in the introduction of the short story. Many parts were quite unclear as to what this story pertained to. The dialogue was confusing and didn't make much sense. It was obvious in the introduction that the man and young girl were waiting for a train in Spain and were at the train station having a few drinks before hand. The title, "hills like white elephants" can be interpreted several different ways. I think that when Hemingway titled this piece he was referring to the young girl's point of view and how she portrayed the world. It shows that the young girl is very observant to detail and enjoys the simple things in life. This short story was difficult to fully understand and it wasn't one of my favorites but I did like the sense that it's vague and each reader can interpret this in their own way, not necessarily how Hemingway saw it.
