<span>Jim stops frozen in his tracks. His reaction is probably that he thinks he may have entered the wrong apartment by mistake. He doesn't even recognize his wife at first. He thinks he is looking at a stranger, and he doesn't understand what this strange woman is doing in his apartment and what has become of Della.
I hope this helps you</span>

Answer:

That Jim is shocked that Della has cut her hair.

Explanation:

William Sydney Porter's (or more famously known as O. Henry) short story "The Gift of the Magi" shows the story of a couple, who through unselfish love for one another, ended up buying gifts that are useless.

Jim and his wife Della are two characters of the story. Though poor, their love for one another knows no bounds. With the upcoming Christmas festival, Jim and Della each decided to buy a little gift that the other person will like and make good use of. Della sold her long hair and bought a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy a beautiful comb. When Jim went home, he was greeted by a short-haired Della. This gave him a shock, with the realization that now his gift will be useless to her.

Answer:

This story is an important part of both Greek and Roman mythology because it is a story that connects the two cultures. I think that this story could be adapted for our current culture because it addressed issues that are still prominent in our society today. I would create a contemporary version of “Proserpine” featuring an alcoholic (Pluto) a young woman walking home from work at night (Proserpine) and an old lady who witnessed the kidnapping (Hecate).

Dear ________________________________ ,

I need your help to stop smoking. Doctors know that friends and family can

be a big help to someone who wants to stop smoking.

Here are some things you can do to help me stop smoking for good:

1. Be positive. Tell me you’re glad I’ve stopped smoking.

2. Please put up with me if I’m crabby or cranky the first few days after

I stop smoking. While I’m giving up cigarettes, I may be on edge. This

will go away soon.

3. Ask me how things are going from time to time.

4. Make a change for the better yourself—like eating better or exercising.

5. Reward and praise me. Rewards don’t have to cost much. It’s the

thought that counts.

6. Don’t tempt me. It’s hard enough without seeing and smelling cigarettes.

It’ ll be tough if you offer me a cigarette or smoke in front of me.

7. Don’t nag. Be understanding.

8. If I slip up, tell me not to give up.

Here are some other things you can do: ________________________________

What is your opinion or stand on this situation?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

I decide it's best to do something. It's not the first time it's happened, meaning that it's going to happen again. Not doing anything is basically the same thing as being a bully. I decide to tell a trusted adult so that the bullies can get what they deserve and that student can stop being bullied. It's the right thing to do and it solves things.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)
