Hills like White Elephants

During Literature class, i had to present short story title "Hills Like White Elephants". This is the synopsis of the story:

The story is about An American man and a woman having some beers while waiting for the train to Barcelona. As the couple drinks, the woman tells the man that the hills in the distance remind her of "white elephants.“This cause argument between them. Later, the man begins trying to convince the woman, Jig, to have an abortion, but only, he says, if she wants to. She wants to know if this will solve their problems, and get their relationship back on track. He tells her that their relationship is on track, but that he is distracted because of his "worry" over the pregnancy. She agrees to have the abortion, but says she is only agreeing because she no longer cares about herself. The man says she shouldn’t do it for that reason. Soon, the train has arrived and the man take the luggage before going back to the bar to finish the beer.



This is the example of the video of the story:
