      It is a lovely story. While Jim and Della’s hearts were in the right place, the two should’ve realized they could’ve bought something with the money they had. Della already had enough money to buy something for Jim and should’ve left it at that. Della even thought Jim only thought she was beautiful because of her hair. Jim could’ve bought any random combs and they would’ve still looked lovely in Della’s hair. Also I’m here not because of school but because I like the story.

    Thank you so much for the
    summary and Analysis 👍
    When I read this story for the first time.
    It broke 💔 my heart in tears during school days 🏫
    Insight to share 😎
    Love is not an exaggeration of the mind which’s expressed through
    the words of flattery
    Love is the sacrifice of the self and the acceptance of the other which’s expressed through actions
    that adds life to the Word “Love”
    which is felt in the Heart ❤️

    Despite their remarkable dedication and the high quality of their content, these channels focused on literature remain largely underappreciated. They invest considerable time and effort into crafting insightful, engaging videos that delve into various aspects of literature, yet their contributions often go unnoticed. It's frustrating to see such valuable content not gaining the recognition it deserves. The work these creators are doing enriches the literary community and provides viewers with a deeper understanding and appreciation of literature, and it’s important that their efforts are acknowledged and celebrated more.✨🤍🫶🏻

    Hi there! I'm a new subscriber. I'd like to let you know that I like how you discuss and analyze literary pieces on your channel. That is so helpful. Thank you also for including a "video guide" in the description (I don't know how you call that but that's for sure similar to a table of contents of a book). That helps me easily navigate or locate those portions of the video I want to repeat watching.
    By the way speaking of O. Henry, he was also known for using "surprise endings."
    And also, your definition of irony at the end of this video, that was truly ironic.

    • @CarrieHoover
      @CarrieHoover  4 года назад +1

      Hi Joy! Thank you for watching, and I'm so glad to hear it's been helpful. You are right; O. Henry LOVED those surprise endings!
