"Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued" as it relates to "Gift of the Magi."

English
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]2 years ago

Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued because it is one way of expressing deep love to your loved ones. You would rather suffer a bit of self-disappointment to make your loved ones happy. 

In the story "Gift of the Magi", Della sacrificed her hair to buy her husband a platinum fob chain for his watch, as her Christmas gift to him. Unknown to her, James sold off his watch, to buy her a set of combs she has been lusting for so long. 

Both items were of great value to each of them, but they each sacrificed it to buy gifts that they believed will give happiness to each other, and to show how much they love one another.

Read the excerpt from "The Hammer of God."
valina [46]

Answer:

The context clues that would be most helpful in figuring out the meaning of impotent as it is used in the excerpt are:

Ever since the demilitarization

AND

the Crutches

Explanation:

The word impotent means helpless or powerless. It refers to someone who cannot do something, who cannot take action, as well as to someone who needs help. In the context it appeared, this word could have been understood with the help of the context clues "the Crutches" and "Ever since the demilitarization". <u>Crutches, as we know, are instruments used to help someone move when they cannot do it on their own. Figuratively speaking, a crutch is anything that supports a person who has or faces disability of any kind in life. Demilitarization means removing or extinguishing military forces. Both words, "crutches" and "demilitarization" convey a sense of lack of power, which then leads to the meaning of impotent.</u>
