Dong Jiawei
Abstract
Taking the novel Hills Like White Elephants written by Hemingway as the study object, the thesis analyzes the connotation of the novel from the perspective of stylistic features. The writer adopted simple narrative technique, concise language and abundant metaphors in this short story to not only convey the incompatible contradiction between the American man and the girl but also deepen the tragic theme of the lost generation represented by the two characters.
Keywords
