This paper is written on Ernest Hemmingway and "Hills Like White Elephants. The paper begins with bibliography on Hemmingway. Ernest Hemingway, in "Hills like White Elephants," uses certain aspects of the setting to help describe the disharmony between an American man and a woman identified as Jig. The couple, on a trip through Spain, is waiting for a train at a junction between Barcelona and Madrid. While they sit and drink, the man and woman think about the future of their unborn child and the possibility of her having an abortion. While talking Jig admires the countryside. Hemingway uses the imagery of the setting to signify the woman's indecision about abortion. The first visible landscape feature existent in the setting is the train station at which the couple is waiting for the next train. The train station is located in a valley with hills encircling on either side. Besides being located in an area with contrasting landscapes on either side of the valley, the station is divided by two rails that run in opposite directions. In fact, these two rail lines represent the decision point at which the couple find themselves.
