"The Hills Like White Elephants":

First off, I don't understand the symbolism of the title of the story, She described the bare hills in the distance that favored white elephants. I didn't see how that described the story, but maybe i should look more into that :). At first while reading this story i did not really understand what was going on exactly but then it dawned on me. I was pretty surprised that a situation like that occurred during those times. i was under the impression that those kinda things didn't happen really, ha ha. I wonder how did people respond to the author writing a story like this and was it necessarily excepted during those times and was it considered "Immodest". I believe in the end Jig Finally saw this man for who he really was.

" The Man in the Black Suit"

I really enjoyed reading this short story,I thought it was sorta similar to my very own short story i created, which was also inspired by "Young Goodman Brown" :).It was an easy read, and got right to the action. I thought it was so cool that Stephen King got this story from an actual event!, when reading I asked myself "what if this actually happened" to be funny, but it turned out so. The one thing that i wasent to sure of was that fact that if his father was aware the he had cross path's with the "Devil" or not, But i think i know the answer to that
