Ernest Hemingway

After reading "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway I was very confused as to what was going on. I did some research on it and it appears that the woman was supposed to be having an abortion. I think what confused me was the dialogue. There is so much dialogue that I get very wrapped up in trying to remember who is talking rather than actually hearing what the person is saying. I had the same problem when I read "Snows of Kilimanjaro. I went back and read it again, and understood it a little better. I also felt like that would have been a very controversial issue during this time, so maybe Hemingway did not want it to be so obvious.
