" Hills like white elephants", By Ernest Highway is a short story about a couple that is at a crossroads in their lives. In this blog post, I will be talking about if the girl ever decided to stay with the man and I will tell my own story when I was at a crossroads in my life.
The story begins with a man and girl sitting at a table having some beers, waiting for the train. They seem to be at a crossroads in their lives. The man in the story seems to have feelings and care for the girl, where the girl seems like she doesn't even care about her own feelings to let alone her feelings towards the man. She seems to want to avoid all the conversations about their relationships. I believe the train means a symbol to their relationship. They wait for the train just like we as the readers are waiting to see what happens with their relationship. I think the story was uncertain and hard to understand it. My opinion, I think the man ended up with the woman that he had feelings for. At the end of the story, it says how he walked away and got a seat at the bar, while she was still sitting at the table. I think he walked away from her because he knew she was so was not sure about her feelings were towards him. It seems like she just wanted whatever he wanted. I believe the man did the right thing to walk away. No one wants to be in a relationship if the person doesn't like you back and a waste of time.

Hey Tina, You mentioned that you believe he stayed with her, yet the ending seemed like you think he left her, I think it was a bit puzzling, however to me the man walking to sit at the bar towards the end felt like a move from him to give one last chance to think alone and make her decision. :)
