Question by LucyWillow0607: Does anyone have ideas about the concept of “blindness” in Hemmingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”?
My English assignment was to read the story “Hills Like White Elephants”, and I absolutely loved it. But then, my prof told us to write a two page essay on the “blindness” in the story, and I can’t really think of any solid theories to discuss on that concept. Does any have any ideas? I really need help!! Thank you!

Answer by Echolalia
You could say that the man (what was his name? it may not have been given) is blind.
The women (forgot her name too) points out all these things going on in the scenery, but he doesn’t see it. The best example is the hills that she sees as white elephants, which he really points out that he doesn’t see.
THe hill that look like white elephants could represent the baby that she is having (it seems she is pregnant and they, especially the man, are getting an abortion).
A white elephant is a gift that it beautiful, and sacred, and precious. However, since the gift is so sacred and special, it is something you can’t get rid of, no matter how bothersome it is. Jig (is that her?) may feel that way about the baby and sees it reflected in the scenery. The man does not see this, he is blind to her potential love for the baby. He is blind to how precious and sacred the baby, and its life, is.
He also seems blind to how upset she seems to be about the situation, thinking she is more nervous about the operation than anything, saying it will just be “letting air in” and nothing else.
Jig herself is also blind. She hopes that they will be happy again after she gets the abortion, even though they are having problems and everything in the story points to the fact that they will never be the same after this. If she keeps the baby everything will change (as the man sees it; he may leave her). If she gets the abortion there seems to be indication, from her behavior and from the foreboding imagery of the scenery, that things will never be the same again between them and she will suffer either way.

BY the foreboding imagery of the scenery (you may not need to mention it) I mean that the area around the station where they are sitting seems to reflect their situation. THere are the white hills (the baby), fertile fields (her), yet there is also dry, arid land. Jig also notices a dark cloud, I believe, which could be foreshadowing either something good (rain=fertility; the baby) or bad (dark clouds are seen as ominous, and she says it looks threatening or something, so it could indicate the abortion).

Question by imuneekru: Can anyone describe what “night blindness” is like?
Can anyone describe to me what “night blindness” is like? I know it’s caused by lack of Vitamin A. (I’m writing a novel, so I am trying to find more of a firsthand description than I can find in medical journals).

How dark does it have to be to where you can’t see?

When did you notice something was wrong?

To what extent is it reversible? If so, how long does it take to start clearing up?

Answer by deogee
I have night blondness. Its terrible. Even if is just starting to get dark it effects how far away things look also when cars are coming from the other way the lights blind you. I was young and when my mom used to take us to the skating rink or something and drop us off she used to hate to pick us up at night beacuse of the same thing. I didnt understand until I got older and suffer from the same thing. I did get some new glasses this year that have antireflective lenses that really seem to help alot though. Its not reversible.

Question by ebonii_cuteee: What is that legal term that is similar to “Willful Blindness”?
… or is that it?

When someone goes about doing something they fully know is what they should NOT be doing…. but when confronted, they claim/pretend that they didn’t know it was considered something wrong (even though common sense would tell you it is wrong – - pretend ignorance.)

The significance between this and ‘Willful blindness’ seem a bit different… maybe not?

Can you offer any help? I need have a feeling I may find myself in a confrontation some time soon, and I need the terminology .

Thanks.

Question by Emberly S: How is Milton’s “On His Blindness” affected by its rhyme scheme?
I have to write a paragraph about this. PLZ help! Im not a literature kind of person

Best answer:

Answer by Henry I
Are you a math kind of person, then?

I ask because the technical aspects of poetry ought to appeal to you if that’s the case. It can almost always be said that rhyme scheme and meter add to the musical quality of a poem. Think about how that might apply here.

This poem is an Italian sonnet (in form, not nationality). Think about how the rhyming lines tie the poem up into little packages. Are they 4-4-3-3? Maybe just 8 and 6? You decide.

To answer a question like this requires that a person (and you, especially) relax the mind a little bit. If you really bang your head against this question, you are likely to get nowhere with it.

Best wishes!

Hi, I’m colorblind, and this is a video that I made to help you to find out weather you are or you are not color blind. Being color blind is somehow cool, but I would wish that i’m normal visioned.
