This is a cause/effect essay. You are going to choose to discuss causes or effect, not both. You do not get to choose your topic though.
In Hills Like White Elephants, the couple seem to be having a casual conversation, but as we discussed in class (the recording is under Announcements), the conversation was much more complex than it appears on the surface. The girl is pregnant, and they are discussing an abortion, which was illegal at the time. The conversation is actually intense.
Choice of Topic
The causes of the intense conversation – one is obviously the pregnancy/abortion, but you will need to dig deeper and analyze the behaviors and wants of each character. Think about the things we discussed in class.
The effects of the pregnancy on the characters. Did it change them individually? Did it change their relationship? How? Why? What evidence do you have to support your claims?
