The Gift of the Magi:

The ironic thing in “The Gift of the Magi” is that the husband gives up his most cherished treasure a watch, so he can buy her a comb/hairpiece for her hair. She gives up her most cherished treasure, her hair, to buy a chain for his watch. Its ironic because they both gave up something that they cherished most event though the things they sold it for were just things/possessions. What is important is there love for each other and that should outweigh everything else.

The Necklace:

The irony in "The Necklace" is that the woman borrows a necklace from her friend and loses. So the woman got buys a replacement for a lot of money. Only to find out the original necklace was a cheap fake. The ironic thing is if she would have just told her friend then she wouldn’t have had to spend money and replace it.

What was the original title of the night before christmas

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

"A Visit From St. Nicholas".

Explanation:

"The Night Before Christmas" was a poem anonymously published in 1823 and later claimed by Clement Clarke Moore in 1837. This Christmas poem is ascribed to be largely responsible for the Santa Clause conceptions and the belief of this 'imaginary' person. The poem was originally known as "A Visit From St. Nicholas".

The poem consisting of 56 lines in one long stanza has a rhyming scheme of a normal aabbccdd......... . The meter of the poem follows the anapestic tetrameter, where the lines consist of two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.

The poem talks of a night before Christmas when a father of one family saw St. Nicholas descend through the chimney and fill the decorative stockings with gifts for the whole family. Wishing the family with <em>"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”</em>, he left the amused father. This began the concept of a Christmas Santa Claus visiting before the day of Christmas and giving gifts to the children.

write an application to your class teacher requesting her to allow you to step back in class during the games predict for a week

Hello Miss/Mrs/Mr (Teacher’s Name)
I have appeared to stay my foot due to the constant force of gravity in the area of the friction towards the surface area of my left vertebrae where my foot sits. I would very much appreciate the concern for another day as for now I must get it sorted and adhesive my crucial organ back on. Although, it may stay, it must leave, till death do us part in the Earth’s tectonic plates where a volcano erupts, rather, a lava earthquake, to be more specific. I hope you understand. Deeply, my heart goes out to you and those affected by this tragedy. For this reason, please allow me to step back during the games predict this week. It may seem like an enormous favour but you must accept it, before the time runs out. Time. It is nothing but a concept. Who invented it and how did they know what the time was for this exact moment in time in the universe? We shall never know. But, what we do know, is that I cannot attend this week’s class.
Thank you for your precious time. (although, it is a concept, right?)
Yours sincerely,
(Your name)
