Today, I want to look at your pictures of the setting and discuss the learning goal above. Why did Hemingway chose to develop the story with this setting? How does the setting relate to the main theme? Also I'd like to talk about your reaction to the characters. There is conflict in the story and a possible resolution, but the resolution is implied. What is it? What decision does the girl make and how do you back up your ideas on this decision.
Finally, with partners we'll begin to write out a script and discuss how the lines might be said (what tone is involved, and what the subtext of the lines mean - because, remember this couple is talking around an issue).
For a hypertext version of "Hills Like White Elephants" go here.
If you are still having trouble with understanding the story, you might want to look at shmoop.
