Read the excerpt below and answer the question. So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade

of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. What does the author’s diction indicate about the way Della felt about her hair? She stuffed it under a brown hat so she wasn’t too proud. The splashing tears indicate that she was quite tall. She was proud of the way it looked and felt. The fact that she “fluttered” out of the door shows that she was not determined.

In the excerpt from the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, what the author diction indicates about the way Della fell about her hair is <em>She was proud of the way it looked and felt.</em> She is proud of her hair that reaches below her knee, it is like an ornament for her. It's Christmas Eve and Della wants to buy a present for her husband Jim. She has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents. She goes to the street to look for a present. She stops in front of an advertisement saying "Hair articles of all Kinds". The owner buys her hair and she gets twenty dollars. She sees a golden watch chain for Jim, it's twenty-one dollars. She buys the chain and goes back home to wait for Jim to come. She prays that he still finds her pretty.
