Answer:

Della sells her hair so that she can buy a chain for her husband's pocket watch. She is motivated to do this by her love for her husband, Jim, and her desire to buy him a special Christmas gift.

Explanation:

As a newlywed couple, Jim and Della struggle financially. Jim works hard to maintain his modest household, and Della appreciates all that he does for the two of them. As Christmas approaches, Della wants to buy a special gift for her husband. She has managed to save only $1.87, and she needs much more to buy the chain for his pocket watch. To get the extra money, she sells her greatest asset, her hair.

Which statement best summarizes the character of Miss Scatcherd In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë?
alexandr402 [8]
      In Jane Eyre, a teacher of history and grammar, Miss Scatcherd, whips Jane's best friend, Helen Burns. She also sentences Helen "to a dinner of bread and water . . . because she had blotted an exercise in copying it out." When Jane advises Helen to resist Miss Scatcherd's treatment, Helen tells her that "it is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you; and besides, the Bible bids us return good for evil." Sometime later, Helen dies of consumption.
