Hills Like White Elephants

I think this story was interesting. Hemingway never said in the story what the operation was, which made the reader try to figure it out for themselves. The couple is at a train station, and they do not know which way they are going to go. This kind of ties in with the fact that don't know whether or not they can go through with the operation. The American is pretty selfish because he seems like he would leave the girl if she doesn't have the operation.
