One of the key ideas presented in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry us the importance of sacrifice.
In this story, we encounter a young couple, Jim and Della, who are very short on money. However, the two love each other deeply, and want to give each other nice presents for Christmas. Without the means to buy these presents, each one of them has to sacrifice what they love most. Della sells her hair, while Jim sells his watch. However, when the two exchange the presents, they realize that Della's present was a chain for Jim's watch, while Jim's present was a set of combs for Della's hair.
The story shows that the real meaning of the gift is the sacrifice and thought that you put into it. A gift that is given with care and love is a good gift, regardless of its content.
Amazing but maybe add something like " if you're being bullied the person/people bullying you are most likely jealous of you or they are having a tough time themselves "

Secrets are one of the central themes in the book, although they are not the most prominent theme, they are quite important, as the ending of the book relies heavily on an untrue fact and untrue story, or rather a secret, which determines the fate of one of the characters. This quote (above in your question) particularly mirrors the quote " You never really know a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around it." Boo Radley remains a secret from the beginning of the book until the end and this quote relates to him as Scout and Jem try to figure him out, since he is so mysterious, yet another one of the secrets present in the novel.

Explanation:
A clause is the part of a sentence that necessarily includes a verb to express the action of the sentence and also a subject that performs that action. While the verb is always explicitly states, the subject can be understood and not mentioned in the written sentence.
A clause, however, does not always make sense on its one. An independent clause can indeed stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause only forms part of a sentence and does no make sense by itself.
