I think the theme is sacrificing things you love for the people you love this is ironic because both Della and Jim sold there most prized possessions (dellas hair and Jim’s watch) but both the presents they bought for each other they can’t use because Della sold her hair and Jim bought her combs and Della bought Jim a watch band but he can’t use it if he doesn’t have a watch

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Chief Seattle has said these words - “Yonder sky that has wept tears of compassion upon my people for centuries untold"

Explanation:

Chief Seattle was the chief of Red Indian or Native American Tribes. He is famous for his speech or ‘letter’ which was a response to the ‘land treaty’ of the Government of America. The treaty was about buying the native lands.  

These lines were uttered by him at the 'beginning' of the speech. He says that nature has given them everything that is needed for them to live on this earth. It never changed and remained eternal.

But he fears that due to human civilization, it may have a drastic change. If we don’t respect the values of the environment, this generation may have to face a lot of trouble.
