Week of January 29 - Hills Like White Elephants

This week you read "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway. In class, we discussed four different theories of literary criticism. From the perspective of one of the four theories, comment on the story. For example, if you use the expressive theory, what conclusions or connections could you make between the story and Hemingway's personal life. or, if you use the mimetic theory, comment on how well Hemingway represents the complexities of romantic relationships.
