Read the line from “Hills Like White Elephants” and answer the question.

<em>“Would you please please please please please please please stop talking? </em>

Question: Hemingway is known for his spare writing style.<em> </em>What does his use of repetition most reveal about Jig?

Options:

  • It highlights the anger Jig feels toward the American.
  • It implies Jig will remain when the American boards the train.
  • It shows Jig’s strong desire to end the topic of conversation.
  • It suggests Jig’s wish to end the argument they are having.

Answer: The correct answer is: <u>It shows Jig's strong desire to end the topic of conversation.</u>

Explanation: Ernest Hemingway wrote the short story ''Hills Like White Elephants”. It opens with an American man and his girlfriend. They are sitting at a table outside a train station in Spain, waiting for a train to Madrid. The American man mentions that he wants his girlfriend “Jig,” to have an operation. It is never specified what kind of operation but the American mentions that things will be fine afterward and that it will fix their problems. He emphasizes how much he cares for Jig; however, she mentions that she doesn't care about what happens to herself. They argue for a while until the girl gets tired and asks the American the following: “Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?'' Hemingway uses repetition to reveal Jig's strong desire to end the topic about the operation and her decision of whether or not to go forward with it.

I would assume it shows Jig’s strong desire to end the conversation, since he is pleading with the person to stop it.

Compound sentence

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A compound sentence can be defined as a type of sentence that comprises a minimum of two independent clause which are joined together by a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. Thus, a compound sentence is made up of independent clauses having related ideas.

A coordinating conjunction can be defined as a word that is used for joining two words, phrases or sentences having similar grammatical rank and are syntactically equal.

An independent clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple (complete) sentence and comprises at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

On a related note, each half of a compound sentence must be able to stand alone as a simple (complete) sentence. Thus, a compound sentence doesn't contain any dependent clauses.

"<em>The environment is the sum of all conditions</em> and <em>elements that make up the surroundings.</em>"

Hence, the above sentence is an example of a compound sentence.

This is because Yu Tsun is more melancholy and full of foreboding. He says lots of ominous, uncheerful things, like "with the eyes of a man already dead, I contemplated the fluctuations of the day which would probably be my last." Since he's the narrator we hear from the most, the overall tone is one of gloom and doom. The story shows that there are many challenges as the story develops, but in the end h<span>e wraps up every little loose end to his labyrinthine narrative in the space of a single paragraph – and in this case, there's a lot to wrap up. </span>
