Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills like White Elephants”, dissects the core of human communication. Hemingway’s use of verbal imagery through dialogue strikes a common vein with all readers. The characters’ play on words evoke thought provoking realizations that people find it difficult to communicate the essence of what needs to be said. Unlike most stories, Hemingway builds the story from simple discourse drawing the reader deeper into the context of communication. If you've never had a chance to read this story, read up!
