3 0

The setting in "The Gift of the Magi" help build the theme of the story. For instance, in the beginning, when the woman (srry I forgot her name, just write it in) was in her apartment, wondering what to get Jim, it helped by leading [insert woman's name] to selling her hair to buy Jim a gift. The characterization also helped develop the theme to this classic story. [Insert woman's name] was very desperate to find her beloved Jim a gift. She was so desperate that she sold her own hair, which was her most treasured possesion. Jim also sacrificed his watch in order to buy [insert woman's name] something for Christmas. (That's all I could help you with at the moment...good luck!)

In what ways do we often have to seek freedom or change in our own family structures?

OLEGan [10]

Human beings are unusual in the animal kingdom because of their capacity to self-reflect and to acquire self-knowledge. This means that humans often have the intention to look for their own dreams or ways of living that better fit with their interests and lifestyles.

One way in which humans look for this freedom and change is by choosing their partners. By choosing specific partners, human beings are able to create the family that they prefer and that they feel most comfortable with. Human beings also seek this change by choosing whether to have children or not, or whether to move out of their parents' home once they become self-sufficient.
