“Hills Like White Elephants”, a short story by Ernest Hemingway, presents many interesting insights into relationships between men and women from the era when it was written. During the 1920’s, an era referred to as the Roarin’ Twenties, women were slowly progressing out from their stereotypical household roles to lives of entertainment and partying. In this short story, Hemingway's characters reveal the lingering differences in stature between men and women in this period. Hemingway, in this story, provides detailed descriptions and well thought out dialogue between his two main characters, an American man and a girl called Jig. The dialogue in the “Hills Like White Elephants”, allows the reader to understand the interactions between men and women…

In all literature, and more specifically in essays or short stories there are a large number of literally elements used. The six most consistent ones are characters, plot, setting, symbols, point-of-view, and purpose. All of these together combine to create a vast number of novels, essays, and short stories that we all know today. Some of the best well-known stories are Hills like White Elephants by Hemmingway, Why we Crave Horror Movies by King, The Yellow Wallpaper by Gilman, and Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Bierce. All of these stories have a few things in common, and that is the six literally elements mentioned before. Like the other pieces…

India is a country of lush plains, striking mountains, beautiful deserts, and dazzling bays. 2, 545 years ago, this incredible scenery served as the backdrop to Buddha’s life and eventual Enlightenment, from which Buddhist teachings would one day grow (Eckel 6). The impact of Buddha’s surroundings on Buddhist thinking is obvious, especially when one takes into consideration India’s dramatic seasonal climate changes. Every summer in India, the monsoons arrive. Every summer in India is monsoon season, a time of torrential downpours raging uninterrupted for months. Before these monsoons, the earth is dried and parched; food and water are scarce. It is, in every way, a season of death. Then, however, the rain arrives, harsh and relentless, but life giving nonetheless. The rain is the amniotic fluid catalyzing the re-entrance of life unto the barren earth. This annual…
America evolved from a colony of England to one of the most powerful countries in the world by a constant challenge of its morals and by making courageous decisions when it was necessary. Its accomplishments were lead by the greatest thinkers to ever live. America’s actions were sometimes immoral, and that is why the U.S has succeeded. Throughout history, the United States of America did not make economic, social, and political progress in reaching its goal of becoming a “city upon a hill”.…

We were invited to go visit the place of worship which was the next building over. In Hinduism, ‘Mandir’ is a place of worship, or prayer. ‘Mandir’ is a Sanskrit word whose meaning signifies ‘where the mind becomes still and the soul floats freely to seek the source of life, peace, joy, and comfort.’ For centuries, the Mandir has remained a center of life – a place in the community where people forget their differences and voluntarily unite to serve society. Although the Mandir is a separate building, our guide has directed us to leave our shoes behind. Our group was lost for a few minutes and then our guide smiled, and explained jokingly that they have built an underground tunnel to access the Mandir building so that people wouldn’t…
Point of view plays a major role in every story, helping shape how characters are seen and interpreted. The right narration will help to clearly present the theme; it dictates the way a story is read and understood with an array of symbolism. In “Hill Like White Elephants” Hemingway presents symbols like white elephants and a train station to carry theme. Through the objective third person point of view symbols are used to help the reader understand the intricacy of a young couple’s life changing choice.…
The mountains could provide me with a sense of extreme pleasure and make my stay…
It had been 3 long days into my India trip and I was miserable. I continued to be rude and sleep through my days. I finally had an event I was looking forward to: the elephant ride. Heading up to the Jaipur fort on my baby elephant with a smile becoming plastered on my face as the sun’s light warmed my body, I felt whole. I felt as if all the pain and emptiness left my heart. Then it hit me that I don’t have to be miserable because neither Ben nor my family create my happiness, I do. I made the decision to stop moping around and appreciate where I was and all that my family had done to support me.…
We were driving up the mountain on a thin, rocky road in a van filled to the brim with people, pillows, blankets, and suitcases. All of a sudden, we were thrusted into sunlight with an open view of the mountains. None of us could have gotten closer to the windows, even if we wanted to. We continued to trek up the mountain, and when we finally arrived, we were itching to get out of the van and run around in the grass. Little did we know, we should have taken that time to take naps or relax, because we would be on our feet for the rest of the day, staying up until one in the morning to help set up the stage, speakers, and decorations in the worship…
