conclusion to hills like white elephants

Throughout the whole story the man and the women are talking about an operation,
the operation being an abortion. The man is trying to talk the girl into getting
the operation because he does not want to be committed to the girl and also doesn't want
to feel guilty about leaving her if she keeps the baby. Jig, the girl, has no idea
what she wants to do but she gets the idea that he is trying to talk her into getting
the operation and she gets the feeling that he is not going to stay with her.
At this point in time having an abortion is illegal in america and not very safe but
the man is still trying to convince her. He says he wants her to do what she wants to
do but yet he says that everything will be the same if she gets the operation.
The girl sees keeping the baby as the side with shade, trees, and water and she
looks at getting rid of the baby as the side with no trees and no shade but
the guy sees it in an opposite way. The whole time the man acts as if the baby
is a health issue that needs an operation and at the end of the story he asks her
how she is feeling. Jig says she feels fine and there is nothing wrong with her this
meaning she feels as if the baby is no problem and she doesn't need an operation to
feel better.
