I think the moral of the theme is that you don't have to get someone a gift to show
that you care about or love then all it is to show how you feel about that person .
If they do care about you as much as you care about them they would not care
what you get them or if you cut your hair just to get them a gife. In the story
it say "Don't you like me just as well anyways? I'm me with or without my
hair ain't I?". This to me says with or with out hair or a gife you can show
that you care about that person.

liliana ledezma final exam main idea
the main idea in "gift of the magi" is when somone doesent have enough and they will give up alot just so the person they care for can smile.both della and jim gave up things that ment alot to them , they can give eachother somthing nice.
on the day before christmas, della had verry little money to buy somthing nice for jim.she wanted him to have somthing nice from her.she ended up finding a way to get some money.she ended up selling her most valible possesion (her long butifull hair).he ended up buyinghim a chain for his perfect rist wacth that her loved alot.she started feelingjim wouldnt love her with short hair.
when jim came home that night he looked at her hair and started thinking. della thought that she was ugly when realy he had boughten her a beutifull set of combs that she had only dreamed of having. then she showed her the chain for his wathc that he liked so much. hr then explained that he sold the wacth to buy her the combs. the main point in the storie is they both did what they could to see eachother happy on christmas eaven if they had to give up alot.

Breshanay Rooters Final Exam
Well i think The Gift of The Magi is about love and to do anything in they will to give there love to somthing. Also to be there for that person even though they look diffrent, and when they are going through problems. I also think that Della and Jim is very strong for eachother also for her to save a pennie a day thats love. I think that people should have help her hair, if my hair touched my knees then i would of had people pay more than twenty dollars, i would of told them a hundreds.

Mayra Alcala Final Exam Main Idea
I thought the Main Ideas was that Della and Jim did the best they could to get each other presents. Also gave up something that matters a lot to them. Even though they didn't have any money. And If they did it was too little. Della saved up all of her money; so she could buy her husbend Jim a present for Christmas. Yet when it came around Christmas time she only had one dollar and eighty cents.
Della felt really bad because she wanted to get her husband Jim a present. So she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. She than read a sign that said " Mme. Sofronie. Hair Good of All Kinds." As soon as she read that she headed inside. Next she saw Madame and asked "If she could bought hair?" Madame said " I buy hair. "Take yer hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it." Madame liked her hair so she bought it for twenty dollars.
But little did Della know that her husbend sold his watch for her present "the combs." I think Della and Jim both felt bad for selling something that was valuable to them. For example Della said "Jim, daring," she cried, "Dont' look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold it because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present." Jim said "I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

Alejandra Rosales/Final exam/main idea
The main idea in this story was about a lady named Della and her husband Jim. It was the day before christmas and all Della had was one dollar and seven cents to buy her husband a present. She didn't know how she was going to get the money to buy Jim a chain the Jim always wanted for his watch. But hen thats when she thought of selling her hair since she had long very nice hair. So she decides to go to a place called "Mme.sofronie Hair goods all kinds" and asked hoe much would they give her for her hair and they offered her twenty dollars for it. So she decided to do it. After she was done she went back to her house to surorise Jim with the cain and her new haircut. The whole time she was waiting she was hoping that Jim would still love her like that. So it came to the time where he came home, once he opende the door he had became speehless,he didn't say a word. But the reason for that was because it's not that he did't like it it was that he had just bought her a new set of combs that she had always wanted. So finally, she surprised him with the chain.They gave eachothere their presents but decided to put them away and not use them at that time. So i guess the main idea was that people will do carzy things to make eacothere happy and show the love they have for that person.

Robby Perez-final Exam main idea
I think the main idea of the story is that you can sell stuff to get money if you are poor you can stiil get money . like how Della sells her hair for twenty dollars to a lady called madame . She gose to a place to get the chain for Jims watch . she started with a dollar and eighty seven cents
then she got twenty dollars . As for Jim he got the expencive tortis shell comb set for Della .HE had to sell his watch to get the comb set. Jim thought della looked loke a coney island corus girl when he saw she gets her hair cut.

carolina final exam main idea
I think the main idea for "Gifts of the magi" is Della and Jim buy each other gift and the give up there possessions. One of my reasons I think that's the main idea beacuse she saves up money for months Jim a Chirstmas present.My seccond reason is in the story it say ther possessions were, for Jim it was his golden watch that was past down since his grandfather died. Della's was her hair it was as long as a cascade and brown. It reach below her knee's. My last reason was when dellas goes to madame to get her hair cut and she say "give it to me quick". which that means she didnt want to get her hair cut. When Della tells Jim to let her see his watch to but on the chain. He tells her "lets put our chirstmas presents away and keep em a while. Isold the to get mony for your combs. Thats what i think the main idea of the story is

Erika Tapia final exam theme
The main idea of this story would be, That things work in many strange and mysterious ways. For examole in this story a woman named Della wants to get her husband the perfect gift for Christmas. In order to do that she sacrifices her hair to sell it and get more money. What she doesnt know is that her husband is also sacrificing something valuable to him to get her the comb for her hair that she has always wanted. So now both of them have gifts but the gifts are meant for those things they have both sacrificed. Like her hair and his watch. In the end there both happy but things worked out to be different than what they both expected. In conclusion to me its the thought that counts. =)

Kiana Masinas- Final Exam Theme
I believe the theme of the story "Gift of the Magi" is if you love someone you are willing to do anything and sacrifice your pride and joy because you love that person and want to make them happy no matter what.
I also believe that the other part of the theme is not just love but the sacrifice you make for that person. It's not easy like throwing away a piece of paper you have that you can easily throw away. Your giving up something for that person that is close to your heart that actually means something to you and your doing all for the love of that person just to make them happy. But, your also surrendering yourself to that person it's like letting them know that your willing to change your life to be with them.
Therefore, I believe of the story is about a man and a woman who love each other so very much that they're willing to give up something that means something to them to make each other happy because it's Christmas Eve.
I also believe that the other part of the theme is not just love but the sacrifice you make for that person. It's not easy like throwing away a piece of paper you have that you can easily throw away.

Taylor Davis and Final exam

Raquell Valdez final axam
the morel of the story is that no matter what happens that you will always get out of it for example:Della wanted to get something for Jim but she had no money so she sold her hair to get the money that she need to get the gife for Jim. as did Jim so by the time they gave each other there gift's they told each other what they did to get there gifts for them.
So I guess what it's trying to say it that that people that give up something that is close to them to get something for some one else then you are wise because your giving somthing up that is of vaule to you and you dont know its going to turn out when you do so people that do that are the wisest of all those who give and receivei gifts in that way they are the Magi .
