The thesis statement is the one regarding the use of the story by O. Henry to show that poverty cannot affect true love becuase it expresses the gist of what O. Henry has wished to convey.  While Jim sells his beautiful pocket watch in order to buy Della a brooch for her beautiful long hair, Della sells her hair so as to be able to afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch. Thus, their material gifts are rendered useless, but still each has proved to the other that they would rather give up their most prized possessions in order to please the other, and by doing so prove their mutual love. This discovery is the true gift that they both receive from the Magi on tht Christmas day.

Mumz [18]

What are differences between Hamlet play and 2009 movie?​
castortr0y [4]

Answer: Mark brainliest.

Explanation:

Differences between Hamlet the Movie and the Play:

First of all, the play starts with the guards standing at the castle with Horatio. The guards and Horatio are waiting for the ghost of King Hamlet to arrive. The ghost arrives twice but doesn’t speak. They decide to tell Hamlet to see if he could speak to the ghost. The movie starts with the funeral of King Hamlet with Gertrude standing beside the coffin. Hamlet sprinkles dust over his father, the coffin is covered and Claudius puts his sword over the coffin. The director changed this part from the play because in the play they say that Hamlet came after his father’s funeral.

They were a lot of deleted lines for Ophelia during her madness making her look more like crazy. Also when Polonius and Ophelia spy on Hamlet, this is how he learns about Hamlets strange visit and about his madness vs. in the play Ophelia informs Polonius of Hamlets visit and apparent madness. In the movie when Hamlet arrives to Ophelia’s funeral she is laying on a white bed and they pull her in to the grave. In the play she was already in the grave and Hamlet testifies his love to her.
