If a writer ofprose knows enough of what he is writing about he may
omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly
enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the
writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to
only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things
because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
Ernest Hemingway in Death in the Afternoon

Many first-time readers read Hills Like WhiteElephants as nothing more than a casual conversation
between two people waiting for a train
Just as the visible tip of an iceberg hides a far greater
mass of ice underneath the ocean surface, so doesHemingways dialogue belie the unstated tension
between his characters.

Overly masculinethere are no beautiful phrases orbreath-taking passages, just the sheer basics.
As a result, many people dont realize that the two are
actually talking about having an abortion and goingtheir separate ways, let alone why the story was sorevolutionary for its time.

Typical submissive and passive behavior expected of
women
Male dominance and female submissiveness
The Americans attempts to downplay the procedure and
continual pushing in its favor lead Jig to her second step
in developing a strong feminist mindset (line 28 pg 37)
Jig, is symbolic because jig is another word for a
whiskey measurer, which is a tool. It's symbolic becausethe American male thinks of her as more of a tool than a
person with feelings and values.
Jig advances her feminist development through the last
line in the story
