The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
In the history of American Literature, O. Henry is one of the most celebrated writers. His endings are quite unexpected for the readers. But no matter how surprising the endings are, they're still reasonable. Another important feature of his writing style is the combination of tragedy and comedy, i.e., the tearful smile.
O. Henry
(1862-1910)
The title of the story refers to the Magi, the three wise men who brought precious gifts to Jesus at his birth and thus invented the tradition of Christmas gifts.

This title implies the precious Christmas gifts given by wise men. The message is that the value of a gift is in the giver, rather than the gift itself. The most valuable things we have are not the material things but love.
Why does O. Henry choose such a title
________ (win) that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. You must promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.
Winning
Love
Continuation writing
What do you think Della and Jim would do when they found out what had happened
Now you're O. Henry. Use your imagination to write an ending for the story using future in the past. You can act out the scene in the next class.
Read the sample and pay attention to future in the past.
Della arrived home and admired Jim’s watch chain. She could not wait to see how Jim would react when he saw it the next morning. What was she going to say about her hair, though She had to think of something. Just then, Jim opened the front door.
“Oh!” said Della in surprise, trying to hide the chain. “I didn’t think you were going to be back so soon. I was about to take a shower.” She tried to get away to the bathroom.
Read the sample and pay attention to future in the past.
“What’s that ” asked Jim. He came closer. “My word! And what on earth have you done to your hair ”
“I was going to wait until tomorrow to give this to you, but you’ve seen it now,” Della said. “I sold my hair to buy you a new chain for your watch.”
Jim looked at her with a loving smile, but there was also sadness in his eyes.
“What’s wrong ” asked Della.
Read the sample and pay attention to future in the past.
“I thought I would surprise you for Christmas too,” said Jim. “So I sold my watch to get you these.” He held out the combs.
Della was speechless. She smiled back at Jim, and they held each other for a long time. Although their gifts had not worked out as planned, they were to be together happily for Christmas, and that was all that mattered.
