“ Hills like white elephants”

As i was reading this story i felt like i was trying to figure out a puzzle.  The story begins in Spain. Where a  man and a girl is waiting for the train. They have a conversation regarding an “operation which happens to be referring to an abortion. They were deciding whether they should go through with the abortion.  I felt as though the man did not want the child, and the girl wanting to please him was willing to go through with it.  The character of the girl seems to be contemplating whether or not  she should abort it.  I can sense the girl is in fear of losing him if she decides to keep it.  She has to decide what is more important to her, the baby or keeping him.

  2. I believe the women would do whatever it takes to make the man happy. Even though she tries to convince him that the child will not change things he still doesn't want it and tells her so.
