Hills Like White Elephants

This story takes place at a train station where a male and female go and have a discussion that is clearly an awkward one. Later in the conversation, we find out that the conversation is about an operation, which we discover through context clues to be about abortion. The two have an argument about whether they should proceed with the operation in which the female agrees to the abortion. The females says, "I don't care about me." This insinuates that the female is trying to please the male even though it goes against what she wants. The male now tries to tell her that what she wants is fine with him. When their train approaches, he carries their bags to the train, take a drink by himself, and then the girl ensures the male that she is fine and the story ends.

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber

Francis Macomber and his wife, Margaret, are on an African hunting safari. Wilson, the the tour guide and hunting instructor, takes Francis and Margot to a sight where there are lions for Francis to hunt. When under the pressure of hunting the lions, Francis gets terrified and runs away from the lions. In result, Margot taunts him and make him feel very bad about himself. During the night, Francis wakes up to Margot sneaking in the tent. She had been sleeping with Wilson. Francis quotes, "You said there would not be any of that this time." This informs us that Margot has cheated on Francis before. Francis finally begins to enjoy the hunting once he succeeds in a kill. Francis and Wilson have to sneak up on an injured buffalo to ensure that it does not mull the next people to come along. The buffalo comes out of the brush and charges Francis and Macomber, when Mrs. Macomber , in the car, had shot the buffalo with the 6.5 Mannlicher as it seemed about to gore Macomber and had hit her husband about two inches up and a little to one side of the base of his skull. Wilson asks why she did not just poison him as the people of England do. She repeats for Wilson to stop it, but he does not until she says please.

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place

"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is written by Ernest Hemingway. This story is about an old man, who is deaf and without anyone but his niece. The deaf man attempts suicide one night but his niece brings the catastrophic event to a stop. The man attempts to drink his loneliness away every night. At the cafe, there is an older and a younger waiter. The young waiter is very impatient with the deaf man because he wants to stay at the cafe after they are closed, but the young waiter wants to go home to his wife. The older waiter is apathetic of the old man's intentions to stay because he would not want to be alone either. The story ends with the younger waiter refusing to give the man more to drink and they all go on their way.
