The theme of sacrifice and unselfish love is depicted in O. Henry’s short story “The Gift of the Magi.”

A literary analysis needs to analyze the text not give a summary. The first and second options only give a summary statement about what happens in the text. Since these are simply facts, they cannot be analyzed with the detail and depth an essay would require. The last option about O. Henry could be debated in an essay; however, it would require the essay to discuss all of O. Henry's short stories not just "The Gift of the Magi". This would not be a literary analysis.

What does "Becoming Joey" suggest about the acceptance of diversity in schools? Use specific evidence from the poem to support y

Mila [183]

Answer with Explanation:

"Becoming Joey" is a poem written by Paul C. Gorski. The poem suggests acceptance of diversity in schools by mentioning the "Mexican race" of Jose (who is an immigrant). This is evident in the 7th stanza, "spitting out his Mexican voice." This also shows that Jose has the freedom or the right to express himself in school.

Although Jose didn't live a rich life, he was accepted in the same school were fairer or wealthier children learn. This is evident in the 4th stanza, "Jose pauses in the schoolyard where fairer kids laugh and scamper..."

The last stanza shows how Jose incorporates the new American culture by being called "Joey." This clearly shows how he transitions from Mexican to American.

So, this explains the answer.
