One of the key ideas presented in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry us the importance of sacrifice.
In this story, we encounter a young couple, Jim and Della, who are very short on money. However, the two love each other deeply, and want to give each other nice presents for Christmas. Without the means to buy these presents, each one of them has to sacrifice what they love most. Della sells her hair, while Jim sells his watch. However, when the two exchange the presents, they realize that Della's present was a chain for Jim's watch, while Jim's present was a set of combs for Della's hair.
The story shows that the real meaning of the gift is the sacrifice and thought that you put into it. A gift that is given with care and love is a good gift, regardless of its content.
So you can "read in between the lines" so to say, Teachers want you to re-read what you have read to develop a deeper understanding.
Definition: these are slogans that are 1 or 2 minutes long (if a TV or radio ad) or large single page posters that try to influence people about social issues. They are free (without cost). I think they are almost always government initiated.
Examples:
No Kid Hungry narrated by Jeff Bridges.
Stop Cyber Bullying
Save Lives: Stop Red Light running.
Don't Drink and Drive
They are effective because:
1. They are free. They can be entered into the media many times. Not only that but they reach across the country because many radio / TV stations are networked.
2. They can be like chain letters. They can cause people to talk about the issues.
3. Organizations are built around these slogans. Do you have MADD in the United States? That stands for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Their slogan is Don't Drink and Drive. It's very well known up here. Mothers who are against Drunk Driving are very adamant and very outspoken. They are also single minded.
4. They are effective because they are meant to make you feel guilty if you don't agree with the slogan. Imagine standing up to a mother who has lost a child and saying "It's not so bad. There are worse things. No damage no harm done."
Arthur should not forgive Lancelot due to his disloyalty because it greatly affected him and his life. His wife, Guinevere, was having an affair with Lancelot and it took a toll on him. Arthur should only forgive Lancelot if Lancelot earned his trust back once again.
Sir Gawain is loyal to King Arthur because he proved that he can be loyal and chivalrous when no one stood up against the Green Knight. He stood up against the Green Knight despite the fact that he was still not a knight.
Yes, loyalty can be restored even if it was once lost. It can be restored as long as the person was willing to trust the person who betrayed him once again and if the person who betrayed him earned back his trust.
Ubiquitous means present, appearing, or found everywhere. I can immediately dismiss b and c. So, I think your best bet is D. Hopefully this helped you out somewhat! Have a wonderful day!
