I have chosen this story of an outstanding American short-story writer O. Henry, because I enjoy reading his works, as they are always written in a laconic but still bright, vivid and interesting way with unexpected turns and surprise endings. You can never tell what will happen next. As for "The Gift of the Magi", I haven't read it before, but my expectations and feelings about it are very warm and romantic. To my mind, this is a love-story, where the couple give some small but very special gifts to each other on such a great holiday as Christmas. I hope the reading and further analyzing will bring pleasure to me. P.S. NEVER click on this link, if you do, you will have to read the whole thing!!! NO! Don't do it!!! TOPSECRET
Hello, everyone! Here is my first blog, devoted to the studying of English Stylistics! I'm so excited and intrested in learning online. I've been really waiting for this moment. It's a good sign, that our education system will have another qualitative level and students will be able to get useful information and knowledge for their future in the internet. And I'm one of a thousand. It was not difficult for me at all to create a blog, as I like and appreciate such kind of work, cooperating and communicating with my group-mates (sometimes it's even not enough time to talk with them during the period at the university, you know;). So, I believe, it's a good start and the students will have more interesting tasks, and we will cope with them easily and with joy. Goog luck, guys!
