White Elephants

Part I: Let’s talk about Hemingway, shall we? The guy was a miserable drunk, a misogynist, and a creep to other authors. So what is it is about his writing that makes us continue to read him long after his death? Does he deserve the accolades we give him?

 

 

 

Part II: Without looking at Wiki or any other source, What is Hills Like White Elephants about, really? What is it about this piece has it showing up in dozens of anthologies?

 

 

 

Part III: Select one of the works this week. Discuss how one of the characters defines him or herself. Take a look at another character in the same work. Does that character perceive that person the same way? How do their definitions differ? For instance, you may discuss how Mother defines herself and how her husband sees her. Be sure to support your response with cited evidence from the text.
