Hills Like White Elephants Poem Analysis

The poem that I have chosen to talk about is called the hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway. The setting takes place in the early 1920s where an American man and a girl are waiting at railway station so that they can take an express train and travel to Madrid. The author expresses in the poem how it is summer hot day in Madrid that correlates with “were white in the sun.” The author does not give the readers enough information about the “operation” nor the relationship between the American man and girl. The exposition in the poem starts off at the beginning where the author explains that the American man and girl are waiting at a train station. The American man expresses to the young girl that she will have a “simple operation.”
