In the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry the phrase "she turned white for just a moment" is mainly used to show that Della is afraid that Jim wouldn't think she is pretty anymore. It's Christmas Eve and Della wants to buy a present for Jim, she has only one dollar and eighty-seven cents. She is proud of her hair that reaches below her knee, it is like an ornament for her. She stops in front of an advertisement saying  "Hair articles of all Kinds". The owner buys her hair, and she gets twenty dollars for hers. She sees a golden watch chain for Jim, it's twenty-two dollars. She goes back home and waits for Jim to come. She prays that he still finds her pretty.

A time I felt successful was when I beat my sibling/friend at Mario cart. They always beat me but for the first time I won and they didn’t go easy on me.

I was in my/there house playing on the WiiU.

We were playing Mario Cart and I was Princess Peach.

I was with sibling name/friend name.

I felt excited and also as if the world stopped for a few seconds. I felt a joyful burst of emotions and energy that I’ve never felt before. Sure this was a simple task, but this was the first time I ever felt so accomplish and happy in the longest time. Whenever we played, it was boring and we knew who was going to win. However, I finally won and now I can’t wait to play next time.
