O. Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi is about love and sacrifice. Della and Jim love each other and sacrifice hair and watch, respectively.

<h3>Who are Della and Jim?</h3>

Della and Jim are the main characters of the short story where they both sacrifices their most precious things for each other. The couple wanted to gift each other and sell their most treasured thing to buy the gift.

Della cuts and sells her hair to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's gold watch while on the other hand, Jim sells his watch to buy a set of ornamental combs. Though their gifts were not usable they showed their love and sacrifice for each other.

Therefore, Della sacrifices her hair and Jim his watch.

Finger [1]

This tree has not yet shed <em>its </em>leaves.

Pronouns are phrases that take the area of nouns. Phrases like he, she, they, it, their, absolutely everyone, the entirety are pronouns. Antecedents are the words that pronouns take the vicinity of. The prefix ante- way “before”—we want to realize the noun earlier than we update it with a pronoun.

Antecedents and next pronouns which take the location of a noun make certain that the equal phrases or phrases do not repeat time and again in a sentence. There are a few policies that will help you successfully use antecedents that pair with pronouns:

1. Antecedents come before the pronoun.

2. Antecedents fit the pronoun’s quantity.

3. Treat compound antecedents as plural.

The Set-Up

Slavery existed and women didn't have the vote in the first half of the 1800s. The people who weren't complete dirtbags wanted to change that…and had conventions to build up followers.

The Text

Truth begins her speech by pointing out that women and Black men gathering together should strike terror in the hearts of men attached to the status quo. (So you know this is going to be good.)

The status quo is that women need to be protected, and she describes all the special treatment that she never receives. Yeah; both of these are messed up. Women aren't fragile things that need to be treated like weird glass-blown angels…Sojourner Truth proves this by being strong.

…but she also proves that Black women are treated absolutely horrifically. She gets worked like a man (and beaten like a man) and so is considered less of a woman and less of human being.

Then she brings up the complete lack of logic present in inequality. She—being Black and a woman in the 1800s—is allowed less than a white man. But white dudes are getting snippy because she's asking for just a little more in the way of rights. Why are these guys getting miffed, exactly? She's not asking for them to have fewer rights than they already have; she's just asking for more than what she has.

Some of these dudes argue that women can achieve less because—check out this skewed logic—Jesus was male. Truth states that this is ridiculous. After all, God depended on Mary to bring Jesus to the world.

And speaking of Biblical women achieving Big Deal things: Eve managed to turn her world upside down with just one bite of an apple. So a statement that women can't get things done is insane: with the combined forces of determined women, there can be change again. Eventually, men will bow before the force of women's power.

Now that's how you end a speech.

 

TL;DR

A Black woman stood up and said, "Hey, I'm human, too. And I deserve just as many rights as Black men and white women."

And then the sound of her dropping the mic echoed through history.
