the gift of magi
Jim and Della Dillingham Young are a couple who are very much in love with each other, but can barely afford their one-room apartment opposite the elevated train. For Christmas, Della decides to buy Jim a chain for his prized pocket watch given to him by his father. To raise the funds, she has her hair cut off and sold to make a wig. Meanwhile, Jim decides to sell his watch to buy Della a beautiful set of combs for her lovely, knee-length hair.
The moral of the story is that physical possessions, however valuable they may be, are of little value in the grand scheme of things. The true unselfish love that the characters, Jim and Della, share is greater than their possessions.
the necklace...
"The Necklace" tells the story of a nineteenth-century middle class French couple, Monsieur and Madame Loisel. Monsieur Loisel is a clerk in the department of education. Madame Loisel is a beautiful young lady, who might have been married to a richer man, if her family wasn't poor. Monsieur Loisel is invited to a distinguished party, and wishes to take his wife with him. Madame Loisel, however, is hesitant to attend, complaining that "there's nothing so humiliating as looking poor in the middle of a lot of rich women." In addition to acquiring a new dress, at her husband's suggestion she borrows a diamond necklace from her friend, Madame Forestier, and attends the party. She was the wonder of the night, and all the men wished to dance with her. Disastrously, Madame Loisel somehow loses the necklace during the evening.
Monsieur and Madame Loisel decide they must buy an identical diamond necklace from the 'Palais Royal' as a replacement for Madame Forestier. Unable to bear the shame of this, they do not inform Madame Forestier of the change and spend the next ten years of their lives paying off the debts, which costs them about thirty-six thousand francs, a fortune at the time. Both Monsieur and Madame Loisel are forced to take on extra jobs and live in abject poverty. At the end of the ten years, Madame Loisel, now older, tougher and less graceful from years of hard manual labor, has an opportunity to tell her old friend of the lost necklace. Madame Forestier is shocked and informs Madame Loisel that her original necklace was, in fact, an imitation "...worth at the very most five hundred francs!..."

maryann30000,I think you sound quite beautiful. If only you could tell me more about how you look,I could be more specific. For instance,What color is the hair on your head? What is the color of your eyes that you see with? I'm sorry if I sound so forward. I'd like to earn these 10 points if I may. Maybe if I knew what you look like,I could help you find the best in your body than finding the worse. How is your lips? Are they thin and slim or thick,beautiful,And pouty. Do you wear lipstick? Sometimes I prefer women that don't wear any makeup. Natural beauty is the best beauty by far. maryann30000,I think you just need some reassurance of yourself. You are really quite beautiful. I've gotta split,My dear. If ever you need some cheering up,I'd be happy to put a smile on your face. My name is David and it's been an honor and a pleasure to write to you tonight. Have a goodnight and God bless. Sweet dreams,Hon. Bye for now.

The average pay for essay writers is one point per word. So for 10 points you will get a 10 word essay. Here ya go:
"The Gift of the Magi" is different from "The Necklace".
Okay, t's finished! I even spell-checked it for you. 10 points please!
