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.

What inferences can you make, and what conclusions can you draw, from the author’s use of the word pride in paragraph 8?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

In paragraph 8 of the write-up "Quilt of a Country", the author - Anna Quindlen  having analysed the sociological makeup of America, its unity regardless of the foundational dissimilarities refers to the act of complaining about other people who are different as pride.

He makes this assertion then goes on to justify why by relating the fact that the deaths toll of 9-11 does not comprise of one category of people.

It can also be inferred that he alludes to the fact that if terrible times such as wars and terrorism can equalise us and bind us together, how much more unified should we be in the time of peace?

Cheers
