So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and

made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. What is the purpose of the author’s description of Della’s hair and clothing? The author illustrates the drabness of Della’s life by describing her brown hair, brown jacket, and brown hat. The author expresses the idea that Della’s hair is a better garment than her jacket. The author is emphasizing Della’s poverty as she goes out to buy a gift for Jim. The author emphasizes the value of Della’s hair by contrasting its beauty with the plainness of her clothing.

Answer:

The author emphasizes the value of Della’s hair by contrasting its beauty with the plainness of her clothing.

Explanation:

This an excerpt from The Gift of the Magi. It is important to emphasize the value of Della's hair because she is about to cut it off and sell it so she can have enough money to buy Jack a christmas present. By describing her hair as "rippling" and "shining" the reader pictures beauty and worth. This is emphasized by her drab, plain clothes that are colorless.

Answer:

Both texts present a moment of human weakness

Explanation:

The first text shows a moment when Ellen is going through a delicate moment, which left her fragile, with wounded pride and shaken vanity. The second text shows a moment when a character feels a strong fear for a situation that is happening at the moment and that makes him apprehensive.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Gilderoy falls under b. Survivors and sustainers.

Explanation:

According to the explanation, Gilderoy is not that young anymore. He doesn't seem to have accomplished much in life concerning formal education and material success. For those reasons, the category he falls under is letter b. survivors and sustainers. According to the VALS model, survivors are usually older people who feel life has passed them by.
