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.

Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.

Contrasting:

The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.

The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.

In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)

What does “primitive” mean as it is used in paragraph 9?
Naily [24]

Primitive in this context is closer to innate or previously existing in the person.

Explanation:

Primitive in the sense of psychology for Freud was always something that had existed in the  person without any outside influence that would inform their behavior.

The primitive action is one that the person is ingrained to perform in the way of their own psyche and has nothing to do with outside influence over them.

This is developed in the concept of displacement and familiarization of the death principle and the life principle of Freud that is being discussed hire.
