What they give each other with beautiful hearts is priceless. And this priceless treasure is indeed a gift that anyone who thinks he is smart or rich in the world will never and can't give. Christmas is one of the most important festivals in western countries. Every year on February 25th 10, people will give each other gifts and express their blessings in a happy atmosphere. These various gifts turned the cold Christmas Eve into a warm paradise. But what kind of gift is the most precious? O Henry, an American short story writer, described an ordinary and profound story for us-the gift of Maggie. On the day when Jesus was born, the three doctors gave him three gifts, which foreshadowed Jesus' life. The story told in O 'Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" is an absurd but touching story, which happened in a small family of 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. Some people may think that Jim and Della are both "stupid". They unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other, and O'Henry's novels seemed absurd and meaningless. Actually, it is not. Some exaggerated accidents in the story make the two protagonists living in embarrassment seem a little stretched. Through this tragic story, we feel the warmth conveyed by O'Henry from desolation-the value of "gift". Jim and Della, though just little people living at the bottom of society, are passionate about life and love each other deeply. In the face of these warm feelings, poverty can become insignificant. On Christmas Eve, two people also want to buy gifts for each other, how romantic and warm. Even though this gift seems to have lost its use value, they have become the most precious gift in the world and sincere love for each other. Maggie is a smart person, a very smart person. Because they are smart people, there is no doubt that their gifts are also smart gifts. Our Jim and Della, though unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other. However, let's say the last word to the wise today. Of all the gift givers, those two are the cleverest. Among all the people who give and receive gifts, people like them are also the cleverest. Everywhere, they are the smartest people. What they give each other with beautiful hearts is priceless. And this priceless treasure is indeed a gift that anyone who thinks he is smart or rich in the world will never and can't give. Christmas is coming again, dear friends, have you made up your mind?
I was particularly moved after reading "Maggie's Gift". The two protagonists in this article are Della and Jim. This article mainly tells the story of Della and Jim selling their most precious things in order to buy gifts for each other. Eulogize their pure and selfless love.
I think it is an important manifestation of human civilization to respect the love of others and learn to love others. Just like this young couple, they sell their most precious things because they both love each other very much.
I think love can be divided into three kinds: affection, friendship and love. Affection is the care of elders; Friendship refers to the sincere friendship between the weak or small partners. As for love, I think it should be as pure and selfless as Della and Jim.
Della and Jim's behavior is commendable. Will there be such selfless love in the real world?
