I read the story 3 times, i need help in writing the beginning

Read the story…it is a little sad but you will like it, I am sure. I am Romanian, but I know it.

The story is about a young lady, loving her husband very much, and a sacrifice she makes, because she needs money to buy a Christmas gift.

At the same time, there is a totally unexpected ending, you will like – I am sure.
Try to read the story!
You will find a lot of things there: love, courage, dedication, hope, joy, even a tear or two.

second part of my answer:
I am glad you read it – now you know what I am talking about.
how would you begin to describe her (the first character in the story?)
A beautiful woman, young and very much in love with her husband, ready to make any sacrifice for a Christmas gift for her husband.
The only thing she can sacrifice to get the money is her greatest reason to be proud: the most beautiful hair. And she does not hesitate to sell her hair!

For her, the most important thing is to give a special present to her husband, because she loves him and because it is Christmas!

Beauty, courage, generosity, love – this is HER description.
now, what about HIM?
they are a wonderful couple, because they think alike: like reflections of a mirror – each of them is doing the same thing: sacrificing his best assets just to please the person they love!

they deserve each other and you can feel how this Christmas sad story is not sad any more: because love is in the air, because they are young and they have something more precious that a watch or a long beautiful hair. Maybe now they are poor, but they have golden hearts and they are young and they are in love!
….and there is still hope that after Christmas he will re-gain his watch and slowly-slowly she will be proud again of her long wonderful hair!

Things will be good in their lives, because they are ready to make any sacrifice for each other!

sorry i write too much!

Please help me answer this question.

She had nothing, so she sold her hair to buy her husband a chain for his watch. He sold his watch to buy combs for her hair. This is an excellent story by O’Henry. You should read it.

What are the values the characters convey in story "The Gift of the Magi "?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Pls help me so I can understand this story better :*

Tnx 2 all of U who answer :)

The wife with the beautiful long hair sells her hair so she can buy a nice watch chain for her husband. The husband secretly sells his watch so he can buy a special comb for his wife with beautiful hair.

So, the values are 1) generosity, 2)putting someone else’s happiness above your own, 3) thoughtfulness.

The title refers to the Bible story of Jesus being born and the three kings coming to bring gifts. These kings are sometimes called the Magi.

What’s the difference in a witch, wizard, sorcerer, and magi?

do they have different meanings?

Here are the definitions. The first three are closely the same. The last, not so. One thing is to practice black magic, another to have supernatural powers.

witch: –1. a person, now esp. a woman, who professes or is supposed to practice magic, esp. black magic or the black art; sorceress.

wizard: –1. a person who practices magic; magician or sorcerer.
2. a conjurer or juggler.

sorcerer:– a person who practices sorcery; black magician; wizard.

Magi: 1. (sometimes lowercase) the wise men, generally assumed to be three in number, who paid homage to the infant Jesus. Matt. 2:1–12. Compare Balthazar (def. 1), Caspar (def. 1), Melchior (def. 1).
2. the class of Zoroastrian priests in ancient Media and Persia, reputed to possess supernatural powers.
3. astrologers.

Has Anyone read the Gift of the Magi?

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

I have a test on The Gift of The Magi by O Henry tomorrow, and I was wondering what the climax of this story is. Also I would like to know what you the think the theme of the story is. The quicker the answers the better it would be to help me. Thank you in advance

Climax- Occurs when Jim and Della open their gifts.

Theme- The moral of the story is that physical possessions, however valuable they may be, are of little value in the grand scheme of things. The true unselfish love that the characters, Jim and Della, share is greater than their possessions.

Also:
Identity-
Della learns that Jim loves her for just for being herself, not because of her hair or the Christmas present she buys him.

Sacrifice-
Both Della and Jim give up valuable possessions so they can buy Christmas gifts for each other.

Wisdom-
Della and Jim were wise because they were willing to make sacrifices to show their love for each other.

hopes this helps

What is MAGI after taking 401K loan?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Say I make 90K a year and contribute 15K a year to my 401K therefore making my taxable income 75K. I decide to take a loan for 25K from my 401K during this same year. What is my MAGI at the end of the year?

I don’t think it will affect your MAGI unless you don’t repay it. A loan is not considered income.
