I feel as though Hemingway develops the characters through their conversation. The man as a forceful but compassionate towards the girl, whereas the girl comes off as stubborn and somewhat direct. The girl seems to come off as intuitive as well in the sense that she talked about the mountains as white elephants and noticed the man was still thinking about her decision when she projected her thoughts onto him.

The lady is very reserved, and seems like she asks for permission to do anything. Although the man continues to have to tensions with the girl. Which leads to develop the girl to be unwilling to talk about the subject of getting a abortion. This seperates them, and the husband goes and sits at the bar.

the girl is very submissive and anxious. she doesn't want to disappoint the guy even though the guy says its her decision. the man is very straightforward and I feel like hes kind of manipulative because he says its her decision yet keeps saying that its the right decision and hinting that he would be upset if she did not.

I thought both characters were unique in their own way. The man was very direct and harsh, while the girl was very quiet and reserved. The man was being trying to get her to drink the beer without making it seem like he was trying so hard. The girl wanted to please the man even though that is not what she wanted to do which shows her submissiveness. She could have tried harder to stand up for herself.

Hemingway uses dialogue as the main way to develop both characters. The girl seems more reserved and the man seems more direct, but he also tries not be too aggressive as to not hurt the girl. The girl wants to do whatever will make the man happy, even if it hurts her. Hemingway doesn't mention their appearance, their words are the only thing we learn about them.

The man is trying to figure out how the woman feels and is trying to figure out if she really wants to go through with the operation. The girl feels as though she has to in order to keep the man from leaving her so as a result she refrains from talking about the subject and shamefully agrees to go through with the operation. The man wants the operation but not if Jig doesn't want it, but jig feels pressured to get it for the sake of their relationship.

The girl says a lot of indecisive things. The man keeps telling her to make the decision but you can tell he wants to make it for her because he says what he wants. The girl is also developed through her actions. She keeps looking away and getting up, which shows how much she doesn't want to talk about the subject.

Man:
- Very direct, knows what he wants but tries to seem less adamant about it by saying 'you don't have to'
-Very much a realist, saying 'No, we can't have the whole world to ourselves'
-Only develops at the end when he goes to the bar, and even then he only shows basic concern and doesn't apologize for his actions

Jig (girl):
-Distant, quiet, clearly wants to be loved but doesn't feel like she is
-Doesn't care about herself- depressed?
-Daydreaming about a different life
-Negative character development in a way? She just becomes more repressed by saying she's fine when she's not fine

Jig is conflicted and frustrated. The American keeps telling her it's her decision, however she feels like he has an expectation of her that she is unsure she wants to do. She is given a unique name and a hard decision, contrasting our view of Americans. The man is only called the American. This plays on our preconceptions of his selfishness. Additionally, although he is telling her it's her decision, his tone feels forceful and accusatory. He is saying the abortion will solve their whole relationship, basically forcing her to choose the child or him.

I really didn’t understand what was going on in the story entell you further explained it. I think it was very passive aggressive with her about drinking and I didn’t fully understand why he they would keep talking about if they were okay. I thought it was cool that the bartender told the husband that the train was coming soon to get him and his wife separated for a little bit.

The lady is very quiet and ashamed, she does not stick up for what she wants. The man is brash and direct in what he wants, a little hot - headed. Hemingway develops the girl entirely through dialog with the man and the metaphor of a white elephant. The man has the most development when he begins apologizing to the girl. He gets frustrated and sits at the bar to avoid her.
