Tension Between American And Jig In Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants

He says “It’s really an awfully simple operation, Jig. It’s not really an operation at all” (Hemingway 124), in an effort to persuade her to in fact have the abortion. She, on the other hand, seems silent at first, but then questions how their life will be better after this procedure. Her uncertainty shows in her responses, and in other findings “… the sensuous beauty of a love relation that is quickly deteriorating, now that she has become conscious of her lover’s selfishness” (Maynard 273).

He then proceeded to follow the motorist to have him pull over so he could express how angry he was about being cut off. There were other incidents where he and his wife would get into arguments or he would avoid her altogether. According to the American Psychiatric Association, criteria H, the disturbances must not be attributed to the physiological effects of a substance use such as alcohol or drugs (2013). Mario does not believe he has a drinking problem because he only drinks alcohol to calm himself. Mario did state that he was not intoxicated when these altercations would occur.

Which is making him more selfish and he does not to have any responsibilities. Also, the reader is also left with a great doubt, as there is no solution. Jig is a Spanish pregnant girl, and she is about to have an abortion. She seems young because she is depending on a careless man.

Vera also makes it clear she isn’t to fond of Dale when he is around. “Oh Dale, you never do have enough, do you?”(Kesey 142). In this quote Vera is insulting Dale about he never has enough. Vera insults his manhood when saying this. With his wife making comments about his manhood he becomes silent and just looks to see the other guys reactions.

As opposed to giving some sort of teach, or despite sitting Wes down and bantering with him about his substance use, Mary gets over the condition. Mary neglected Wes ' substance misuse because she didn

Krebs thought girls were “not worth the trouble.” (85) Although he may not have had the motivation to pick up the girls, he “liked looking at them.” (85) This is in no way the girls’ fault, however it shows how the war affected Krebs’ drive to do tasks that involve socialization. Perhaps if the townspeople were more open to listen to Krebs’ story then he would be more comfortable with girls. His mother is an example of how he interacts with women.

Truth be told, Holden didn't even want coitus, he longed the attention of love, by somebody who finally understood him. After that, Holden kept moving forward, he had to; with the mindset that everything good was ahead, he had to leave all the bad,. When he met up with good old' Sally, he felt at peace again, like everything would be alright. Holden obviously lacked numerous communication skills, but he could never really relate with Sally. He really wanted “commitment”, but Sally could not move with him away from civilization she wanted something normal, practical.

On the other hand, Katniss is suspicious of his behavior, and believes he is just pretending to be nice, but she realizes that he is just being himself. She states in the book, “Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, has obviously been crying and interestingly enough does not seem to be trying to cover it up. I immediately wonder if this will be his strategy in the Games. To appear weak and frightened, to reassure the other tributes that he is no competition at all, and then come out fighting.” (Collins, 2008, p.49)

In the end, the women choose to stop talking with the American man about the operation, he has pleaded his case. He has stated that this unborn child is, “the only thing that bothers us.

(CL) This means that Ashley’s mom more than likely had some connection to drugs, since she refused to take the test.

It’s almost as if he’s just all talk and corrupted by idleness once the time for action approaches. So then, why does he agree to have prostitute sent up to his room if all along he didn’t want one? This goes to show how much he wants to preserve his innocence, but, at the same time, he yearns for a woman’s attention. Salinger’s novel really makes readers think about how human beings attempt to protect their last bit of innocence yet, we all fail to, even God’s very first creations Adam and

Because the medication that supposed to help with her outbursts and combative behavior is not as effective anymore. He reported that Pa fell on 11/11/15 but did not need medical treatment because she did not sustain any injuries (just soreness). The SC inquired about Bill handle his frustration and when Pa becomes abuse or combative and he state he just deals with it because he loves her “and no matter what that’s his wife and he’s going to do right by her” so he talks to

One comment that stood out to me was “women are used to worrying over trifles.” The words trifles means something of little value or importance, by Mr Hale stating women are used to worrying over unimportant items, it shows he doesn’t truly care about women’s thoughts. Sheriff Peters isn’t considered oppressive, but he is extremely dismissive of his wife’s thoughts and concerns. He is also quite prejudiced towards Minnie in the fact that she killed her husband. The final Man in this story is Mr Wright.
