The two short stories have the biggest similarity in the dilemma that is seen in them. This is in addition to the settings in the stories and how they play out. The major theme in the Good People by Foster Wallace is communication between couples. In the book, there seem to be a lack of communication in the conversations that take place where the man only communicates with the girl in his head but avoids communicating with the girl herself. This is a similar case with Hills Like White Elephant (Mays 15). In this story the couple is having a discussion while taking beer. One person says things to the other, but the other person seems not be listening to what the other party is saying or the point that is being put across. This leads to lack of proper communication between the couples.

The scenario in Good People seems to be about a woman who is just about to undergo a medical procedure and the conflict that the woman has to go through with her partner. The medical operation is not, however clearly specified, but it seems to be an abortion. The medical operation is evidently a big deal in the story. According to Mays the essential conflict that seems to exist between the characters in the two short stories lies in the decision on whether or not to get an abortion (34).
