Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway

Lesson Plans by Kristy Littlehale

Students will likely have differing viewpoints and feelings about abortion, as it is a very emotionally-charged political issue. That is what makes “Hills Like White Elephants” an excellent tool to use to teach about a controversial topic, and have students be able to discuss their ideas in an academic manner.

Storyboard Description

Hills Like White Elephants Literary Conflict Analysis

Storyboard Text

  • MAN vs SELF
  • MAN vs MAN
  • MAN vs SOCIETY
  • Jig is unsure of what she should do. No matter what choice she makes, her relationship with the American man can't go back to the way it was. She also has to talk herself into accepting that she will do the procedure, rather than making the choice willingly.
  • Jig and the American man are at odds with one another. He wants her to have the operation, but she is not as willing to do so. Ultimately, she just wants him to stop talking, and he walks away, hoping to clear some of the tension between them.
  • What the American man and Jig discuss is at odds with society; in the 1920s, abortion was illegal in many countries. While they know others who have gone through with it and seem to be happy with the decision, it's still a risk that many frown upon.
