Women are being judged by the way that they may become pregnant. The society looks down upon women woman that may have babies that are from a relationship that either did not last long or I just did not mean anything to them. Jig was with an American and she did see the baby as the white elephant and that she did not want the cost to raise a child she did not see that the child would be a addition to her life drinking and the way that she wanted to travel. The similarities between the hills like white elephant and no name woman would be that both of the women became pregnant with a child that came from a relationship that was just not meant to be or that did not last long. The differences between both of the texts would be that Jig wanted to abort her baby while the aunt in the other text did give birth and then committed suicide. Each of these stories has conflict, they are imaginary, and they have some rising action.

The two differences that were between the two texts were that Jig wanted to have an abortion just so that she could go on with her life like she did before she had gotten pregnant. In the other text the aunt did have her child and then committed suicide because she did not want to be a disgrace to her family for having a baby out of wedlock. Also another difference would be that aunt after she had the baby because she lived in a Chinese village where that went and destroyed her home and her crops because the village people did not believe in having a baby in a non-lasting relationship.

Jig was not sure about going through with her abortion
