Explanation:

The Gift of the Magi is a short story written by O. Henry, the American writer. In this story, there are two main characters and those are Jim and Della, married couple. This couple's financial situation is bad because they are having little money and they are living in one modest apartment. Considered by them, they had two treasures which were Della's hair and Jim's father's gold pocket.

  • Their story is showing love. On Christmas Eve they both wanted to give something to each other but they did not have enough money so they both have sold their ''treasures'' in order to buy gifts for each other. Della bought her husband chain for his pocket watch but Jim sell hid watch in order to buy her decorative hair combs which were useless for her at the end because she sold her hair because she got 20 USD for that which was enough to buy Jim a present.
  • Their financial situation is not affecting their love and behavior in their marriage. They are showing love, self-sacrifice and many values of one human being.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Three of us. We were the only ones left, the only ones to make it to the island. After cold nights on the sea, we had finally reached our destination only a few of us surviving.  I couldn't fathom how we had even gotten here in the first place but then again I can't recall anything that's been going on with me lately. How did I even get here? What even is my name? I have no idea.... I have lost most of my memories and I have no idea why. When my feet first touched the scorching sand I looked around there were 5 of us. Now I can't seem to find any of them...Were they all just a made-up imagination of mine? Is this all just a dream? I have no idea but I'm fearing for my life as my feet have started to sink into what I believe is quicksand.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!
