. This short story is from Ernest Hemingway called Hills Like White Elephants. Its about a man and women waiting for an express train to Barcelona while getting drinks at bar, that was at train station. And how she stares out window and sees the mountains threw the trees outside the bar that looks like an white elephants skins.
Also she may not have the money to raise a child an be force to do things in order to survive and provide for her child. But maybe if they think about a little longer and not jump too soon maybe their love could work.
Their was a time in my life when I had to move from my girlfriend house back home with parents. Because while being in relationship with my girlfriend had 4 kids, and 2 of them were bad seeds. I was 23 years old and she was 30 years old. I never judged her for have 4 kids because i can't judge somebody, because I'm not GOD. So as lived with her i noticed the 2 youngest child were unmanageable and disobedient. You would have to tell the numerous time to stop doing this and stop doing that. After a while it puts a strain on you and you say to yourself " I hate these kids!!!" Their was a time that I told her youngest son to stop playing around and on the glass table that was in living room. I remember I told him stop playing with the glass table and he reply's "You not my daddy". A few moments later the glass tablet was chattered into little pieces. When his Mom came home she warmed that tail up for braking the glass tablet. So the last straw was me coming home late night and coming home to notice that it was crayons, notebooks, clothes and everything on my side of bed and one of her kids was sleep in my spot. That was it, I grab my things and when back home to parents and realize that i bite off more then i could chew.

Hi Richard, I think the woman is more invested in the relationship than the man. He seems selfish to me. To me she is the one that will try to keep the relationship together.

I agree and disagree because he does seem like a nice person but at the same time you cant force a person to be happy with you. Maybe it's more to the story that we don't know. As far as your personal experience dealing with a women with children is hard. It's even harder when the children isn't yours. I would've been angry as hell and I would've had a talk with her. Maybe living in the same house was a big step lol Hopefully times and things changed.

I like your argument on why she stays, did your opinion change after the class discussion though?
