"...life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating."- Is it really so?
As I have read the story "The Gift of a Magi" for the first time, it left a lasting impressions on me. I should say, that my expectations about the plot of the text were mostly correct. This is a short-story about a great and strong feeling of love between two young people. The couple works very hard, although lives in a poor flat, and there is not enough money for each of the lovers to buy a suitable present for Christmas. But they are always ready to sacrifice their most expensive and valueless things for the sake of such deep devotion to each other. Della and Jim are like real magi, their gifts presented and recieved wisely. The most appealing detaill for me in this story was that the protagonists are so innocent, and dedicated to their powefull love. They consider each other to be worth the greatest treasures in their lives.As for my own opinion, I do believe, that such a strong feeling to another person still exists in our modern world of cruelty, cynicism and greed. And you should trust me! ;) I wish everybody to look out of window, see the spring sun, and to fill your hearts with this bright and pure feeling of love!
I'm happy that such an innocent story warmed you up from the prolonged winter! I also believe in true feelings yhat realy don't depend on the material goods, but welcome!:)

ReplyDeleteAs for me, this story is an anthem for romantic individuals who lack sensible pragmatism, though your point of view has been also interesting for me to read.
