...Hills like white elephants “Hills Like White Elephants” is a short fiction story written by Ernest Hemingway. The story is about a couple and we only know them as the American and his girl Jig. In the beginning of the story they are sitting at a station bar in Ebro in Spain having a beer and waiting for their train to arrive. Jig looks out of the window and she looks at the hills across the valley and tells her boyfriend that they look like white elephants. As they are sitting at the table “Jig” looks at the bead curtain in the window and there is paint on the curtain saying “Anis Del Toro”. It was apparently a famous drink and they ordered two of them. Their regular conversation suddenly turned in to an argument after she compared the hills with white elephants. Jig is pregnant and that has made the couple unhappy. The American tries to convince Jig into having an abortion if she wants to. She says that she wants to have the abortion but only because that she no longer cares about herself. The American tells her not to do it for that reason. Their argument escalates quickly and they order two extra drinks just before their train arrives. The story is written in a 3rd person narrator. The narrator is a “fly on the wall” and observes everything about what the two characters “Jig” and the American say and how they act. In this story we follow the two characters the American and “Jig” through the whole time. This story is primarily a conversation between the two of them but...

...Analysis of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” In Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants," the decision on whether or not to have an abortion puts strain on the characters’ relationship. The two characters, Jig and the American, have differing views on abortion. Hemingway uses the elements of symbolism and dialogue to portray such a serious conversation in which a major life decision is about to be made. Like the proverbial elephant in the room that everyone sees, but no one wants to acknowledge, not once is the subject of abortion mentioned, but it is implied. The reader must be willing to read what is not there. While most writers set the stage for their readers, Hemingway leaves the interpretation completely up to the reader. This story takes place in 1926 in Spain, a country where abortion was illegal until 2009 (“History of Abortion”.) The fact that the procedure was illegal is probably why the word abortion was never mentioned during their public conversation in the bar. Money is obviously not an issue for the American as referenced to the many hotel stickers on their suitcases and as we know, money can buy anything including medical services. Jig is interpreted as a young and naïve girl, who is struggling with the decision that is laid upon her. The American is interpreted as an harsh, manly man who is adamant during his dialogue about what he wants, even to the point of trying to downplay the procedure by stating that it was an “awfully...

It express the hardships and struggles from the experiences of the writer that reader can establish connections or may acknowledge it as a worldly or personal crisis.

...the setting and the last conversations before the train arrives. Jig’s attitude since the very beginning reveals her dependant and submissive character as a woman. When ordering her drinks she felt the necessity of always refer to her companion and ask him for confirmation, as she needed to be sure if she was making a mistake or not: “What should we drink?”, the girl asked. […] “It’s pretty hot,” the man said. […] The girl looked at the bead curtain. “They’ve painted something on it,” she said. “What does it say?” “Anis del Toro. It’s a drink.” “Could we try it?” […] “We want two Anis del Toro.” “With water?”...

...title. I imagine the hills symbolize the rounded enlargement of the girl’s stomach, indicating her pregnancy. “White elephants” can be considered as useless or unwanted things, or valuable possessions which owners cannot dispose of, or the avoidance of a difficult topic. I think each meaning of the phrase can explain the situation depicted in the poem when referring hills to elephants, where the boy thinks the baby will disrupt their peaceful and happy life and both the boy and girl are trying to avoid the topic of abortion. Another setting beer appears many times throughout the poem, which shows that they avoid conservation or directly face the pregnant issue. They order beer for three times and after the first round the girl wants to try Anis Del Toro. At the end of time, after moving the luggage, they each drink alone, the man stops in the bar room has another drink while the girl sits at the table drinking. The railroad tracks is another setting shows the great gap between the couple. “He picked up the two heavy bags and carried them around the station to the other tracks.” Tracks, running side-by-side but never meet together, represent the between Jig and her boyfriend, which is being but never coming together. These tracks also divide the land to two parts, which shows the division exits between...

Our society has created a systematic approach towards the way we look at those who have gone through tough times as well as communities who have been marginalized for the color of their skin, faith, and gender identity. “Shake the Dust” connects with and addresses those who are excluded in our culture and encourages them that everyone has a purpose in life and this goal is to speak up for what you believe in.

It shows the readiness of the person who makes the offer to create a legal relation and to be bound by the law. As a general rule a proposal must be clear and communicated to the acceptor. The given scenario states that the offer made by Yatie is clear and hence on 4th September 2011, the offer has been communicated and received by Tina (acceptor). As per the situation, Tina instructed Anis (her staff) to fax the letter of acceptance. However, instead of sending fax, Anis sent a letter to Yatie on 6th of September 2011 as an acceptance of the offer. Therefore the question is whether the letter sent by Anis would be counted as an effective communication. Another question here is that whether the letter sent on above mentioned date by Anis values to a...

...Due Date: April 22, 2013 Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover I was the one to walk in first to do this project, to see the people’s faces turning my direction in an unpleasant way. The store that I walked into was called “Dress Town” at the Eagle Rock Mall on Sunday, March 10, 2013 in the afternoon. As walking into the mall and into the store, we three girls had to put ourselves into a mind of a sociologist; and how they would “judge the book by its cover.” But realistically the shocking part is that they don’t, instead they use their sociological imagination to broaden their thinking mentality, to find other ways to live. Who ever said that there only is one certain way to live and that is the correct way? I realized that as Meghedi, Ani and I were walking the normal or decent looking shoppers were keeping a good amount of distance, more than usual. Also, the shoppers that had children with them, they were pulling their children towards them in a noticeable way while staring at us. As I walked into the store, being extremely nervous because I was the first one to do this project; completely nervous, not knowing what was to come before me, there were four sales associates. One of the associates stood by the door and greeted each customer as they walked in. When I walked in that girl greeted me but not the same way that she greeted the other customers. Her greeting them was a lot sincerer compared to the way she greeted me. Everyone seemed to be staring at me but when...

...MRAVNÍ CTNOSTI – ETICKÉ 3.1 PŮVOD MRAVNÍCH CTNOSTÍ Mravní i rozumové ctnosti mají svůj původ. Aristoteles uvádí: „Je-li dvojí ctnost, jedna rozumová a druhá mravní, má ctnost rozumová vznik a růst většinou z učení, proto potřebujeme zkušenosti a času, kdežto ctnost mravní (étniké) vzniká ze zvyku, odkud obdržela i jméno, které se jen málo odlišuje od slova ‚zvyk‘ (ethos).“ Etická zdatnost tedy vzniká ze zvyku. Nelze získat učením anebo cvičením a není ani vrozená. Mravní ctnosti nám nejsou dány od přirozenosti, což Aristoteles ilustruje na následujícím výroku: „Žádná mravní ctnost nám není dána přirozeně; neboť nic z toho, co jest přirozeně, nemůže býti zvykem změněno, na příklad kámen, který se přirozeně pohybuje směrem dolů, nemůže býti navyknut, aby se pohyboval směrem nahoru, i kdyby někdo tisíckrát jím házeje jej tomu zvykal, a zrovna tak ani oheň nemůže býti navyknut, aby se pohyboval dolů, aniž vůbec co jiného si navykne na něco, co by bylo proti jeho přirozenosti.“ Tyto ctnosti nejsou ovšem ani proti přirozenosti. Člověk má jen jakousi vlohu pro jejich získávání a zvykem se pak dokonávají. Získáváme je v praktickém životě a ztrácíme ji zanedbáváním. Etická zdatnost si zachovává svůj počátek a učí nás správně smýšlet a konat. Proč by měl ale dobrý člověk jednat ctnostně? Aristoteles by nejspíše odpověděl, že krásné skutky se dělají kvůli „krásnu“. Konečným účelem (cílem) ctnosti není „střed“, ale to, co je šlechetné (krásné). Šlechetné (krásné) chování...
