What is a short story that is similar to "the gift of Magi"?

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I have an english assingment due and I need to compare two short stories and a piece of art. I am soo lost! I like the story " the gift of Magi" it is easy to understand. But, I need another story to compare it with. It has to be one that is similar. It also has to be by a well know author!

The only thing I can think of is the disney Christmas movie with mickey mouse, that is a retelling of the gift of the magi (I think anyways). I suppose a clip of it, or the movie as a whole could be considered a piece of art.

i really like the pogram and i missed some epsodes.

Streaming or otherwise obtaining an in-use license of any TV show, unless you own it, is illegal. Not to mention dangerous, what with all the viruses out there. The companies have to make their money somehow.

Fortunately, you can get Magi-Nation DVDs for free, legally. It’ll take time and effort, and it certainly won’t be instantaneous. But if you’re interested, here’s a link:
http://www.points2shop.com/index.php?ref=uin1248800467

For signing up, you get 250 points, which is $2.50. After that, you can complete offers and surveys, play games, win contests, and refer others to the site for more points. The site is linked with Amazon.com, so then you can spend your points there to get whatever you like for FREE. It isn’t a scam–you can ask anybody. In just fifteen days I earned $60.

If you have any questions about the site, feel free to ask me. I’ve also written up some further information on how to complete offers, how the site works, and so on:

What is the theme of Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

What is the theme of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"?
& If you have ever read "The Gift of the Magi", What is the theme of that also?

I would like both themes, but if you only have one .. That would be great too.
Ten points will be awarded!

I didn’t read the Gift of the Magi, but for the Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the theme is: don’t go use other people’s stuff without asking.
I dunno if this is right, but it’s my best answer I have right now!

What is the conflict in O. Henry’s The Gift Of The Magi?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I’m thinking its man vs. self because man vs. nature, man vs. man, or man vs. society don’t seem like they would fit.
Why do you think and why?

I agree that each of the characters has inner conflicts, so that works for man vs. self, but since they are poor and feel pressure to give each other gifts because it is traditional (and they love each other, too, of course), perhaps man vs. society could work, too.

I have to write a research paper on Adoration of the Magi and I was just wondering if there is a story told in this painting.

Well sure, the story of the Epiphany!

What does "The Gift of the Magi" say to you about giving gifts?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Just wondering cause i don’t know.

I remember that short story. But basically the husband and the wife were poor and they both gave up something they loved to get each other something for Christmas. And ironically enough theygot each other something for that something they each gave up. Ex. He had a pocket watch and she gave him a chain for the watch but he no longer had the watch because thats what he gave up to get her something. Hope this wasnt too scatter brained. =[
