What is the exposition of the gift of the magi?

Answer 1

When Della looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard.

Answer 2

This is a wonderful story and you need to read it. Wiki does not do summaries for students.

Answer 3

In the exposition one typically learns about a character(s), in this case, Della and Jim; the setting: bigger city like New York, early 1900's because of the money references, and it is the day before Christmas; we also learn the conflict: Della does not have enough money to buy Jim a good present.

Answer 4

The exposition of "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry introduces the main characters, Della and Jim, as a young married couple living in a modest apartment. We learn about their financial struggles and their deep love for each other, setting the stage for the sacrifice they make to buy each other Christmas gifts.

Answer 5

You need to read the story. It is a good story and not very long. Now, get to work.
