Hills Like White Elephants

"Hills Like White Elephants" is a short story about a couple at a bar. They sit down next to each other and order a beer each. The women then begins the conversation with talking about the painting on the door and how it looks like a white elephant. The man has never seen one before and has no idea what it looks like. So he then changes the subject about a certain acction that him and the women don't see eye to eye on. The are argueing about weather or not a certain action is a big deal. The man thinks that everything will be perfectly fine, while the women thinks completely opposite. The man tells her it is just a simple opperation,they can still have everything they want, and nothing will change. Whereas, the women thinks it is much harder than being said, they can't go everywhere, and they can't have everything because it is just not the same. The women then wants nothing more than to just change the topic and stop talking about, but the man refuses and continues with saying, "I'm not going to make you do something you don't want to do." However she wants nothing to do with this concersation. He then moves her bags next to the train stop and it shortly arrives.
