loves her husband so much that she even cuts
her unique hair to buy her husband a Christmas
present. She is a nice woman, and she has a
simple but warm life.
Step 5

A Sacrifice For Love 2
Fast reading: the general idea of each part
Para1: Della was anxious to wait for Jim and was afraid that Jim’s
love would go out.

buy even a new overcoat or gloves.
Para3:
Jim stared at Della with a strange expression on his face.
Para4: Della explained why she had her hair cut off.
Para5: Jim was still confused.
Jim was awake and expressed nothing could make him
Para6:
love Della any less.
Para7: Della was so happy when she saw a set of beautiful and
Expensive combs Jim bought her.
Para8: Della showed Jim her gift—a gold watch chain that was
Worthy of his gold watch.
Para9: Jim told Della he sold his watch for her combs.
Careful-reading
1. How did Della expect Jim react when he saw her?
Della thinks he will either be very angry or disappointed
(or both) and not love her any more.
2. What was Jim’s reaction? Describe his feelings?
Jim is shocked when he sees Della, and he doesn’t know
what to say.
3. Why did Della burst into tears when she opened
the package?
She cries because she is reminded of her beautiful hair,
and the combs which she so much wanted are now of no
use to her.
4. Where did the story take place?
The story takes place in a city in America.
5. Explain the title of this short story. What does it
mean?
The title means that both Della and Jim give up their
most precious possession for the love of each other.
6. Is the story humorous or not? How would you
describe the story?
I think the story is humorous in a way, but also with
some irony. It is hard to say the story is funny, but the
story is surprising.
Step 4 Discussion
1. Were Della and Jim both foolish to sell
their favorite possessions?
O.Henry want to tell us that they were not foolish.
They were wise because they had each sacrificed
their most valuable possessions for the person they
loved. They were like the three wise men—the
Magi—who brought presents for Jesus Christ after
he was born. Keep in mind, that this is why
Christians still give presents on Christmas Day: to
remember the gifts the Magi brought Christ on that
very first Christmas.

Sample summary:
Della is the young wife of Jim. They have been married for a few
years, and they love each other very much. They are very poor. Every
day Della bargains at the market and in the shops to save money. Della’s
life is very boring, and they haven’t much fun. The only thing that gives
her pride and happiness is her long, brown hair. To give her husband a
wonderful present for Christmas, she decides to sell her most precious
possession, her long, brown hair. Jim also loves Della very much and
wants to surprise her with a beautiful gift. He knows that she would be
happy if he would buy the beautiful tortoise shell combs which she longs
for. But Jim doesn’t have any money, either. So in order to buy Della the
Present, he decides to sell his most precious possession, his gold watch.
Both Kim and Della love each other so much that they sacrifice the
possession they love most to buy a present for each other. The story
ends, of course, with a great disappointment for both of them. Della has
bought a watch to buy her a present. And Jim has bought Della the
combs she wanted to put in her long hair, but she no longer has that hair.

Oh, Captain! My Captain!
--- By Walt Whitman
Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is worn,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here, Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse or will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult, O Shores! and ring, O bell!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns
O my Luve’s like a red red rose
That’s newly sprung in June
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I ;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’the sees gang dry
Till a’the sees gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee thill, my dear
While the sands o’ life shall run
And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve
Tho’ it were then thousand mile!
