A. he gazed at the bright blue sky and the trees filled with lush green foliage. How could anyone spend time looking at a screen when he could look at this?
Answer and Explanation:
Jim and Della are characters in the short story "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry. In the story, Della sells her long hair to buy Jim a golden chain for his precious watch. She does not know Jim has sold his watch to buy beautiful combs to adorn her long hair.
<u>The gifts do not affect Della and Jim's relationship negatively. Quite the contrary, they only serve as proof of their great love for each other. Each one sold their most precious possession to be able to give the other something that represents their feelings. Even though the gifts are now useless, they still mean a lot, and the couple's love is not diminished at all. Their reactions when they receive the gifts are evidence of that:</u>
<em>But she held them to her heart, and at last was able to look up and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"</em>
<em>. . .</em>
<em>Jim sat down and smiled.</em>
<em>"Della," he said, "let's put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They're too nice to use now. I sold the watch to get the money to buy the combs. And now I think we should have our dinner."</em>
Answer:
The speaker's perspective is that of a loving father, happy to entertain and play around with her daughters. He expressed his caring and endless love for them throughout the whole poem.
Explanation:
The poem "The Children's Hour" is written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about a father and his daughters' relationship. The poem presents a caring and deeply emotional love a father has for his daughters.
The speaker in the poem is an unnamed man, probably the father of the three girls. He comments about himself as "an old mustache as I am." But through his reaction to his daughters bursting into his room, suggests he is a loving father. This can be inferred from the lines that express his feelings for his daughters-
<em>"voices soft and sweet"</em>
<em>"They almost devour me with kisses"</em>
<em>"And there will I keep you forever".</em>
These three lines from the poem are evidence of the father's/ speaker's love for the three little girls- Alice, Allegra, and Edith.
