"Hills Like White Elephants" is about a couple that is arguing about an operation that the girl is contemplating, which is an abortion. The couple is at a train station, having a few drinks, and the woman says to the man that the hills look like white elephants. The man says that if she goes through with the operation, they would be alright and happy again, just like they were before. The woman is very confused on what to do and tells the man that if she has the abortion, their lives wouldn't be the same. They continue to talk and say things that back up how they both feel about the abortion and consider each other's points. She is upset about the whole situation, and the man tries to soothe her. He asks her how she feels, and she replies that nothing is wrong to avoid talking about it anymore.
