The first version of Esenin's "Golden Grove" is the better version in my opinion. It seems deeper than the the second one. Both versions have the same meaning, however the first translation is much better than the second one.
Hills Like White Elephants: This was a strange passage. I had to read it through about 4 times before I realized they were talking about the girl getting an abortion. Its clear that the girl is nervous about giving up the baby and that guy definately didn't want it.
Girl: This passage seems to refer to a woman telling her daughter how to live life. The mother is very prim in her belief about the way a woman should act. Meanwhile the girl clearly is confused about all of these things getting pushed on her so fast.

On Girl i couldnt figure out the meaning AT ALL! I thought it was about getting married the first time I read it so i was WAY off! I saw you chose the more difficult version to read as your favorite one for "Golden Grove". I chose the more straight forward easy way.
