In the three stories presented: “Good Country People”, “Hills Like White Elephants” and “The Storm”, there’s a clear parallel that exists. In each event that occurs as the main plot of each story, we are presented with a question that in most cases would probably be handled the same way even in today’s age. Each story presents a struggle, a choice to be made, a path to take for characters that wouldn’t be so unlike those paths taken today. This paper attempts to bring those choices to light and, with examples, denote the similarities of choices made today.
