''Hills'' Literary Analysis

Thesis statement: The story uses setting and symbolism to hint at ''abortion''.

1. The setting introduces a tense atmosphere (Spain, 1920's, uses a quote about ''Hills'', station)

2. Hard decision about ''it'' (Railroad)

3. The hills are compared to ''White Elephants'' = Baby (''Unique'' and ''uncommon'')

4. Field + trees = Fertility + fruitfullness
