The author of Maggie's Gift makes the whole story full of ups and downs and fascinating, and always vividly describes the movements, expressions and psychological activities of the protagonist in a few words. This book tells the story of a small family in the lower class, which took place at Christmas. Jim, the hero, is a shop assistant, whose salary is only enough to make ends meet, while Della, the heroine, is a virtuous and kind housewife. They live in poverty, but Jim and Della each have a very precious treasure.

Jim has a gold watch handed down from his family, and Della has beautiful hair like a waterfall. Because of these two treasures, they are very proud. In order to give each other presents at Christmas, Jim sold his precious gold watch and bought a set of combs inlaid with jewels for Della. In order to buy a decent gift for Jim, Della sold her long hair and bought Jim a platinum watch chain.

After reading this book, I have many feelings. They all gave up their most precious things for each other, and the gifts they got became useless. Although Della and Jim are poor in material life, their spiritual world is rich. Although they unwisely sacrificed the most precious thing in their family for each other, they expressed their love for each other so vividly.

I think that although each other's gifts lost their use value to each other in the end, Della and Jim got something more precious than gifts in the world, that is, priceless love. The author described this episode in Jim and Della's poor life with sympathetic strokes, as if there were a pair of warm eyes watching them and encouraging them. Perhaps this is the secret of this article becoming a classic. Although Jim and Della are just little people living at the bottom of society, they are full of love for life and love each other deeply. In the face of these warm feelings, poverty can also become insignificant. How romantic and warm it is to give gifts to each other.
