The fact that each sold the item that the other bought a gift to go with
The title of the story "The gift of magi" is actually draged from the christian mytalogy,it is about the 3 people who brought the gift for the Jejus christ .They have brought many precious goods , but the most precious thing was missing. It was their true love, devotion and sacrifice. In this story the true sacrifice, love and devotion for each other is precent, as they have sold away their precious and loving items(hair/watch) just for giving a good present to each other.But at last the sacrifice was gone in vain, as their both gift was became useless.
This is a wonderful story and you need to read it. Wiki does not do summaries for students.
A 'protagonist' is frequently described as the main character or hero of the story. In 'The Gift of the Magi," the protagonists are Della and Jim Young, because they are the main characters. In fact, aside from one other minor character, they are the only characters. They are the ones that battle against the common conflict of man against society or fate as they struggle to survive and make one another happy by sacrificing something important to each of them in order to make the other one happy. They make their respective sacrifices and they make each other happy thereby overcoming their conflicts and becoming the true heroes of the entire story.
one simile is "Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of a quail."
yes becauses it is a lesson or moral it teaches you about life
It is a very good story. It also gives us very good message.
Della's long and beautiful hair and Jim's gold watch.
Because we expect Jim and Della to get gifts each can use, but in the end they cannot use the gifts, at least not innediately.
Jim and Della are poor but they want to get each other a Christmas gift. Della sells her long hair to buy Jim a gift. Jim sells his watch to get Della a gift.
she does not have enough money to buy a gift for her husband..
The gift of the Magi allusion is the Magi. First, an allusion is something that refers to past literature or history. The Magi is three men that deliver presents to baby jesus. The magi is something that is in history and refers to it in the story....making it an ALLUSION!!!! :)
The man sold his watch to buy combs. The woman sells her hair to buy a chain for his watch. Both gifts become useless as a result, but both love their gifts anyway because of the self-sacrifice required to attain them.
