The Gift of the Magi
by O. Henry
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

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you visited my blog too, Stepan! I hope I will get know this story as good as you and even better) Thank you!
DeleteA nice start, Margaret! A great blog with so sophisticated and serious title!!! I'd like to ask the same question as Stepan did "Why O'Henry?" If you think that O'Henry's stories are easy to analyse than it is rather disputable, much is unsaid there. Be a conscientious reader to understand the undercurrent information! Good luck!
