"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.

What was Manifest Destiny? How did the Mexican-American War contribute to this ideal?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

By the end of the war, Mexico would lose almost half its territory to the U.S., including lands from Texas to California. The war was a key event in American History as it fulfilled its 'manifest destiny', encompassing land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Manifest Destiny was the dream that America should control North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Mexico had legal claim to Texas and owned California , Arizona, and New Mexico. ... The disagreements between the United States and Mexico over the border of Texas led to the Mexican American War. Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent.
