"The Gift Of Magi" The Suprise Ending.

When I finished reading "The Gift of Magi" I felt amazed. I felt amazed because this story shows you what people will do for love. When Della cut off some of her hair to buy Jim a chain for his watch it showed that she would do anything for her husband to show that she loved him.
Jim sold his watch to by fancy combs for Della’s long hair showed how much he loves and cares for her.
The conclusion of the story is that if you love someone dearly you would give up everything and that’s basically what Jim and Della did!

Did you enjoy the story? Or If you haven't Read it. Do you plan to?
	yes
	no
	ehh maybe
	of course I will!
	Nope! its about love!

The gift of Magi" The Item I'd Save".

I would save my phone because I would still be able to contact family and friends.
I would still be able to use face book. Also because it’s my favorite item and I would be sad if she got hurt! I know it sounds crazy that I would choose my phone but it’s mine and I treat it like it my own child! When I become an adult, I hope I use my phone to make a lot of business calls and to  reach out to my clients when I become very successful in life. ( I want to be a therapist)
