Answer :

In O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," despite loving her long hair, Della cuts it and sells it. The following reasons motivated her to take this step :

a. her selfless love for Jim  

d. her wish to buy a Christmas present for Jim  

The following lines from the story give the answer to the question.

"Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling—something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. "

Della is a loving person and there is nothing more she loves in this world than her husband Jim. She has been saving for months in order to buy a decent Christmas present for her husband.

Your question is incomplete as you didn't provide the author's message. An overview of the answer will be provided.

An <em>author's message </em>simply means the big idea that's in a text. It is what the author wants the readers to know. It is sometimes the lesson that the author wants others to know.

In this case, since the emphasis is on "we", it means that the author wants everyone to do that particular thing that's addressed in the story. For example, if the message is about love, the author can write that we should <em>love</em> each other.
