suter [353]
<span>The dialogue in "Hills Like White Elephants" focuses on the possibility of an abortion.
A man is talking to his girlfriend about her having a surgery, and although it is never directly stated, it is implied the surgery is actually an abortion. He wants her to have it, and she doesn't, and they are having an argument without even listening to each other - it is futile given that she won't do it, and he wants her to.

Whta is hemmingways style of writing
Paul [167]
Iceberg is the writing style of Hemingwat. Influenced by his journalistic career, Hemingway contended that by omitting superfluous and extraneous matter, writing becomes more interesting. He summarized his theory:

If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
