Importance of Communication Within Hills Like White Elephants

Miscommunication was a major topic of discussion in the "Hills Like White Elephants" lecture, along with the value of clear communication in interpersonal interactions. We talked about how communication can be used as a tool for control and how the indirect language in the story showed the power relations between the two characters. We also looked at the repercussions of avoiding direct communication, including potential misunderstandings and conflicts.

The exploration of the significance of efficient communication in relationships in this presentation was eye-opening. It got me thinking about how I communicate and the possible repercussions of avoiding direct conversation. The conversation also enhanced my understanding of the language's complexity and contribution to the story's overarching theme.
