After reading Maggie's gift 1 The novel "Maggie's Gift" tells the story of a young and poor couple who sacrificed their most precious thing to buy each other a gift when Christmas came-the wife bought her husband a silver watch chain that matched his gold watch and sold her long hair; The husband sold his three generations of gold watches and bought his wife a set of jewelry combs that she had been longing for for for a long time.
Maybe some people think they are stupid. They all gave up their most precious things for each other, and the gifts they got were useless. However, when the husband and wife are speechless about their "useless" gifts, I feel that they are giving each other sincere love. This is the real priceless treasure.
After reading this article, I understand that we should care about others so that others will love us. In real life, we get endless love from our parents and teachers, but have we given them a sincere gift on their holidays and birthdays? Most people's answer is no, because we take it for granted, but now I feel ashamed. We should give them something in return. We should accept love and learn to love others!
Reflections on Maggie's Gift 2 When I opened the book and read the first article, I was completely conquered by the author's literary talent. O'Henry's works can make us reach the ultimate state of "smiling with tears", which is one of the reasons why I like this book so much. Next, I will open this book again and explore the philosophy of life behind those humors. ...
I believe the article "Maggie's Gift" has become a household name. After reading this article, I feel a little touched and sad. It is touching that the two protagonists can give up what they cherish most in exchange for what the other likes. Della sold her beautiful long hair and bought Jim a watch chain to match his pocket watch. Jim sold his pocket watch and bought Della a comb to match his long hair. The result can be imagined. I learned to give up from their stories. Giving up does not necessarily mean losing. Sometimes, giving up is also a kind of gain. As long as you really make others happy, you will be the happiest one. So there is a saying called "helping others"! But sadly, I feel that when expressing feelings with others, it is not necessary to use material things to reflect them. Just like the two protagonists in the story, even if they don't buy gifts for each other, their feelings will be good. If they buy gifts, they will look a little affected.
When I closed this book, the plot of the festival was still bumping in my mind, and my understanding of life suddenly appeared rational brilliance. ...
The story told in The Gift of the Magi 3 is an absurd but touching story, which happened in a small family in the lower class at Christmas. Jim, the hero, is a small clerk whose salary is only enough to make ends meet, and Della, the heroine, is a virtuous and kind housewife. Their life is very poor, but Jim and Della each have a very precious treasure-a gold watch handed down by Jim. Even if "the basement is full of gold and silver treasures, and King Solomon is the gatekeeper, whenever Jim passes by, he will definitely take out his gold watch and let King Solomon blow his beard and stare with envy"; Della's beautiful waterfall hair can "put Na Ba's pearl baby to shame". In order to give gifts to each other at Christmas, Jim sold his gold watch and bought a set of pure tortoise shells with jewels on the edge for Della. Della sold her long hair and bought Jim a platinum watch chain. They all gave up their most precious things for each other, and the gifts they got became useless.
After reading this story, I know that love is interlinked, but it is also unreasonable, as long as we understand, support and help each other.
Thinking about Maggie's Gift 4 "Maggie's Gift" tells a story: In order to buy a platinum watch chain for her husband as a Christmas present, her wife sold a head of hair. For the same purpose, the husband sold his ancestral gold watch and bought his wife a set of hair combs. Although each other's gifts have lost their use value, what they get from them is more important than emotion-love is priceless.
After reading it, I deeply feel that a couple who are not rich can do such an extraordinary thing on an ordinary day: think of each other and completely ignore themselves. It is because we love each other that we can do such extraordinary things. By contrast, how much have I paid for others? In life, I always go head-to-head with others for a little dispute and haggle over every ounce. In the end, it was not worth the loss, but it ruined my reputation. Why don't I learn from them and care about each other? What's the matter? I should seriously reflect on myself.
People who love each other will always love each other. Only by caring for each other and thinking for others, the world will not be so ruthless.
After reading Maggie's gift, I lost my energy in the hot afternoon, but I accidentally turned to O'Henry's collection of short stories. If you don't watch it, you can't stop watching it.
After reading this book, what impressed me the most was the first work at the beginning, The Gift of Maggie. Jim and Della in the book are really people at the bottom of society, and their meager monthly income brings them great challenges. Christmas is coming, and both sides want to buy the most beautiful gift for each other. Jim knew that Della had beautiful long hair, so he decided to buy her a beautiful comb, so he sold his watch and bought Della a present that he thought was the most beautiful. Della knew that Jim had a gold watch but not a decent bracelet, so she sold her beautiful hair and bought him what she thought was the most beautiful gift. What a coincidence! Both sides exchanged what they liked best for what they needed most. When they knew the thoughts of both sides, they all cried, which were tears of emotion and love.
If you have a lot of money and a sincere relationship at the same time, which one would you choose? I will not hesitate to choose that true feeling, because sincere feelings are priceless! I believe that Jim and Della are the happiest people in the world; Everyone with true feelings and love in the world is the happiest person in the world!
After reading the short story The Gift of Maggie, I was very moved. Although Della and Jim are not rich, they love each other very much, as if nothing can separate them.
The husband and wife have one thing they think is the most precious, one is Jim's gold watch, and the other is Della's long hair. Christmas is coming. They want to buy each other a special gift, but they have no money. So after a fierce ideological struggle, they bought each other gifts with their most precious things, but the result was amazing. Jim traded his gold watch for a full set of combs, and Della traded her long hair for a platinum watch chain. Although these two gifts are useless, they exchanged their most sincere hearts for something more valuable and supreme-love.
This short story reminds me of a text I once learned and gave it to the tree. The theme of this text is the same as Maggie's Gift, but the difference is that the meaning of giving and exchanging is different. Knowing how to love others is the most meaningful thing. It can make us gain more understanding and pay in life. Only those who know how to give others love can get real happiness.
Parents' comments: Young readers can appreciate the sincere love between people and understand the significance of exchange and payment, hoping to write more deeply in the future.
After reading Maggie's Gift, this novel tells the story of a young and poor couple who sacrificed their most precious things to buy gifts for each other at Christmas-the wife sold her waterfall-like long hair and bought her husband a silver watch chain to match the gold watch left by his three generations; The husband sold his gold watch and bought his wife a set of pure tortoise-shell jewelry combs that she had been longing for for for a long time.
Maybe some people think they are stupid. They all gave up their most precious things for each other, and the gifts they got became useless. But when the husband and wife are speechless about their "useless" gifts, I think they have received the most precious gift in the world. Because this is what they give each other with sincere love. Although they are just small people living in the lower classes, their love for life and mutual quality are not available to the rich. This is the real priceless treasure.
After reading this article, I understand that we should care about others so that others will love us. Growing up in real life, we got endless love from our parents and teachers, but did we offer them a sincere gift and sincere greetings on their holidays and birthdays? Most people's answer is no, because we take it for granted, but I feel ashamed now, and we should give something back. We should accept love and learn to love others.
Reflections on Maggie's Gift 8 From Maggie's gift, although on the surface, they unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other, I deeply feel that they love each other deeply. In order to buy the best gift for each other, they can sacrifice their most valuable things. However, when both parties sell their valuables, the other party's gifts are no longer suitable for them, and when they do these things, they are thinking of each other without considering themselves at all. It is because we love each other and love each other deeply that there will be such an interesting ending.
After reading this article, I understand that we should care about others so that others will love us. With love, people will understand each other and have warmth. It is precisely because of the love between people and animals that animals will trust human beings, will not harm human beings, and live in peace with human beings. Love is really powerful. There is a song that says: As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world. When the Indian Ocean tsunami happened last year, people all over the world lent a helping hand, donated money and materials to help the victims rebuild their homes and reunite with their lost relatives. From this incident, I feel the pure friendship between people all over the world. I believe that as long as our hearts are full of love, our world will have a better tomorrow!
After reading Maggie's present, the heroine Della bought her husband a Christmas present-a watch chain with her long hair. On the other hand, Jim sold a gold watch and bought a set of hairpins for Della. They changed their most precious things into gifts that matched each other's most precious things, but by this time, all their precious things had disappeared.
At the beginning, the author tries to introduce the poverty of the Della family, paving the way for the events described later. It is precisely because the family is poor that it is great to be able to sell what you regard as a treasure.
There is a paragraph devoted to "mirrors". This kind of mirror "can only be handled by slim and flexible people." The article says so, and also mentions that "but Della, the slim hostess, has mastered the art of looking in the mirror flexibly." It shows that the family is indeed and has always been poor, because Della has "mastered the art of looking in the mirror flexibly."
In such a poor situation, it is very valuable to be considerate of others.
After seeing Maggie's gift, 10 Christmas is coming. Della stared at her hair in front of the mirror for a long time. This will be the last time to touch your hair. Jim is also preparing presents for Christmas. Looking at his beloved watch, he could only say goodbye with tears and his heart ached.
When they exchanged gifts, they found that the watch chain and hair comb had lost their use value. The comb can't slip on Della's flowing long hair, and the bracelet can't feel the residual temperature of Jim's rough skin on his hand.
They are Maggie. They buy gifts for their opponents with the most precious things in life. Although they have no use value, their pure love is piled up with wisdom. There is no doubt that love costs more. William Sydney Porter's "tearful smile" technique surprised me very much. It always had an unexpected ending, which made people cry, but with a sweet smile on their faces.
Today, many people's love depends on money. It is rarely intimate love and congenial. Perhaps only when they realize that "asking what the world is like only teaches people to commit themselves to life and death" will they sigh! Sad!
Maggie's Gift: 1 1 This is a short story recommended by O'Henry's teacher when he was still in primary school a long time ago. I still remember the synopsis of the story: Della sold her proud long hair and bought her husband Jim a precious platinum bracelet as a Christmas present; Jim sold his three generations of gold watches and bought a set of combs for his wife Della. The story is touching, unexpected, but reasonable. Today, he finally read the whole article carefully. After watching it for ten minutes, the author portrayed poverty very deeply, and he could feel the financial difficulties of Jim and his wife from beginning to end. But it is because of this embarrassment that the protagonist will sell his most precious thing. Because no matter how precious things are, they are not as good as the people in front of them. I think everyone wants to have such a beautiful love. Both boys and girls will not give up because of life, nor will they shift because of reality. Happiness is never directly proportional to money. This does not mean that they will show their true feelings only when they are at the end of their tether. My mother told me that this life is not about how much you get, but how much you give. She and her father have been through ups and downs for 25 years, and the people with them.
I believe that true love belongs to the heart and soul, and all the love in the world can get better.
Reflections on Maggie's Gift 12 "Maggie's Gift" tells a series of stories triggered by money. A couple wanted to buy a Christmas present for their daughter, but in the end they gave up what they loved and bought a Christmas present for their daughter. Unfortunately, in the end, their talents lost their use value, but they got the most precious talent on earth-true feelings.
I think they are very happy. Although they are poor and live in poverty, money is not important in their hearts. The important thing is that they have real feelings. As long as you have true feelings, you feel a hundred times happier than a millionaire.
In real life, some people think that money is everything, and money has everything. However, I always believe that the sincere feelings I always believe are priceless. Even if you have a million dollars, it is not easy to get the truth back. Maybe you only have a little money, but you have a true feeling. Money is more of a material, but true feelings are obtained from the soul.
Perhaps, some people will ignore this sentence and cannot understand their practice. If you have great wealth and sincere feelings in front of you, which one would you choose? I will not hesitate to choose the truth, because the truth is priceless! I really believe that as long as you really pay, you can get a reward.
After reading Maggie's present, it will be her 35th birthday in a few days. Yesterday, I joked with her. Do you want flowers or trotters? The wife smiled and replied: I am very satisfied that you can still remember this day. Trotters are more real than flowers!
I'm considering what gift to give her.
Speaking of which, I can't help but think of an article in a middle school English textbook: the topic is probably PREZENT (recited at that time), from the famous American writer Ou? Excerpt from Henry's short story The Gift of the Magi. The general content of the story is: Della reluctantly sold her beautiful hair in order to match her husband's beloved gold watch with a delicate bracelet. That beautiful hair hangs freely on the body, like a small brown waterfall, shining and rushing. Her husband Jim likes his wife's beautiful brown hair very much. He knew that his beloved wife had been longing for a tortoise shell comb displayed in the window of a Broadway shop for a long time to dress her hair. In order to give his wife a tortoise shell hair comb as a valuable gift for Maggie on Christmas Eve, Jim also reluctantly sold three generations of gold watches. Della's hairdressing and Jim's gold watch are the only precious possessions that this poor family can be proud of. In order to show their deep love for their lover, they lost these two most precious possessions on Christmas Eve, and got a watch chain without a gold watch and a hairbrush without hairdressing. Instantaneous joy paid a high price, followed by deep pain.
Buy flowers or trotters? This is a problem. Either a flower+trotters, or sell your watch and buy her a comb, haha.
After reading Maggie's gift, poor Della and Jim tried their best to give each other the most valuable gift in the coming Christmas. As a result, I mistakenly thought that after receiving the gift from the other party, I found that the original precious gift had become useless. On the surface, they unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other, but what they got was something that nothing could change-love.
Such an interesting ending may bring you regret, but I think it is more touching. Moved by their persistence in poor life, they stick to their lovers and love. I think only they can understand Yuan Zhen's "this is a sorrow that all mankind must know, but not as people who were poor together know". For those who love each other, love doesn't have to be eternal, nor does it have to be vows of eternal love. Ordinary is enough, stay together until you are old. For each of us, we should expand the love of Della and Jim into the great love of our world. With love, there is warmth between people.
"As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world." Therefore, as a member of the society, what we have to do is not one-way demand, but actively dedicate our love to everyone in need, even a little, even if we encounter the same situation as Della and Jim, but that love will warm everyone and the whole world. I think this is what we should learn from Maggie's gift.
After reading Maggie's gift, 15 pure love, I advocate love, because it is true feelings, because it is absolutely pure and does not contain a trace of impurities, so it is true.
Since reading the article "Maggie's Gift", I have a deeper understanding of the truth and purity of love and the beauty and loveliness of love. The heroine Della portrayed by the author left a deep impression on me.
Della is a woman with beautiful hair. Her hair is as beautiful and long as a brown waterfall. Even a beautiful queen will be jealous. What beautiful and precious hair! But she sold her most precious and proud hair just to buy a suitable Christmas present for her husband! This makes me have to admire her courage and her love for her husband. Her gift, like Maggie's gift to Jesus, is full of love and hope.
Della's love for her husband is pure and worthy of praise. There are true feelings everywhere in the world, not only pure love, but also friendship and affection. Any innocent feelings are worthy of praise. As long as you feel it with your heart, you will feel this pure love. Even if your blx is flawed, don't be discouraged. As long as there is true love in your heart, you can wash away that smear with your purity.
