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.

notka56 [123]
When your talking with your friends, with your family, or with your colleagues, your speech and tone will change. When your with your friends and the most relaxed out of all of them being able to use some different more racy speech with them. Talking to your family you may be more relaxed but you still have to watch what you say. And talking to your colleagues you have to make sure you seem appropriate for your situation. Say you’re at work. Your co-worker May say something like “how was your day” instead of going into depth about it, naturally you just say “It was nice, how was yours” and then you both carry on with what your doing. In this general example it is just common curtesy. Now, say you’re at a charity event with your family. Your want to seem more proper, but also sociable and not stuck up. So people are more willing to talk to you about what is going on and share there opinion. There are many different way of speaking calmly, and appropriately in the social gathering you have attended.
