"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.

Good response. Try to write a bit more analysis next time.
