    Men are from Mars; women are from Venus; this statement best describes Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills are Like White Elephants.” The statement forces you to ponder what is really meant‚ are men and women literally from different galaxies‚ or does it implies they interact as if there are from different worlds?
