O'Henry used irony in "The Gift of the Magi". This tool was essential to developing the story's theme by showing that the couple bought gifts for each other that they could not actually use at the moment. In addition, the author used this fact to show that people of the society should treasure the things they've received from others, because you may never know if they sacrificed THEIR most treasured possession to aquire the gift.

Think of a system you're familiar with, and then answer the following questions.
Alina [70]

<em>The system I am familiar with and I am using right now is  :</em>

<em>a. A simple Loans Management System. The simple Loans Management System I am using right now can make me add, delete and edit client's information as I could also add, delete and edit loan transaction under their names. The system also can perform computations on their loan interest amounts, penalties and rewards. </em>

<em>b. Some inputs includes: Client basic information (such as Name, Birthdate, Address, Contact Details), Business details (such as business name, business address, business contacts and copies of business documents) and Loan details such as (Principal amount and term). </em>

<em>c. Outputs of the system includes: Reports regarding client profiles, business profiles and Loan details (with computation of his or her Loan --- principal with addition of interest amount and other fees) </em>

<em>d. Loans Management System is a system that relies on the accuracy of the Client's registration. It cannot detect errors when it comes to wrong spelling of client's name, address and business details. It will affect the Loans transaction of the client because during searching of client's name and some details are wrong, then loans processors cannot recover the record. It will still work, but problems may arise.</em>

Explain why you should elaborate when writing a short story
fomenos
A short story conserves characters and scenes, typically by focusing on just one conflict, and drives towards a sudden, unexpected revelation. Go easy on the exposition and the backstory, your reader doesn't need to know everything that you know about your characters.
