On the other hand, in, “Allusion, Word-Play, and the Central Conflict in Hemingway’s ‘Hills Like White Elephants,’” by Timothy O’Brien, from the United States Naval Academy, he sheds light on the wordplay and diction as proof for Jig not keeping the baby.

Relationships are the core of everything we do in life. We love someone, so we do something for them; we value someone 's opinion, so we respect them; we dislike someone, so we avoid them. Relationships cause people to act on their emotions which impact how and why they do the things they do. Ernest Hemingway’s short story “Hills Like White Elephants” is about a couple trying to come to a conclusion on a delicate matter.

In “homage to my hips” by Lucille Clifton, she talks about her self-confidence. Clifton is proud to be the woman she is and no one will get in the way of how she feels about herself.

Again, Atwood uses simple, matter-of-fact diction to describe the lack of humanities being taught in school. She seamlessly inserts Jimmy’s confession which indicates that all the vocabulary and literature such as “how [he] first encountered Shakespeare was through Anna K.’s rendition of Macbeth”, which indicates that the compound’s schools teach exclusively science courses (Atwood, 102). Additionally, Atwood juxtaposes Martha Graham, a humanities school, with Watson-Crick, a science school to reveal the extreme differences in funding that the schools receive. To illustrate this, Atwood creates a pleebland setting for Martha Graham, where everything appears to be falling apart. Jimmy describes the Academy as “falling apart and surrounded by the tackiest kind of pleeblands”, which juxtaposed with Watson-Crick which contains “a bronzed statue of the Institute’s mascot, the spoat/gider… inside grounds which [are] beautifully laid out… the pathways [are] smooth and wide, which students and faculty [beetle] along in their electric golf carts”, which illustrates that society is willing to spend more time and money on a science school rather than an arts academy (Atwood, 225,234).Similarly, throughout the novel, Atwood highlights that society is viewing the humanities as an accompaniment to the sciences, instead of a faculty of their own.
