Any second I had free I was on the streets playing football with my friends. Football was all I thought and dreamt about.

“Hills Like White Elephants” calls to mind the “A Game of Chess” section of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922); like Eliot’s masterpiece‚ Hemingway’s story deals with the sterility and vacuity of the modern world.

She has transformed herself IMO when it comes to adagio movement. There
