![]() ![]() Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.” This passage is ironic as it shows Della feeling sorry for herself and her financial predicament even though not having much money for a gift, in reality, is not that tragic. In “The Gift of the Magi,” Henry uses verbal irony after revealing that the Dillingham Youngs only had $1.87 for gifts: “There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. This type of irony can come in the form of sarcasm, overstatements or understatements, according to Kansas State University. Verbal irony is when a character says something that contrasts with literal meaning of his words, or says something that doesn’t align with a particular situation. The sacrifice, however, led to the understanding that you cannot put a price on love, and that the true gift that the couple received was the wisdom to realize this concept and acknowledge each other’s sacrifices. Henry explains at the end of the short story that they sacrificed the greatest treasures that they owned so they could purchase material possessions. On Christmas Eve, the couple only had $1.87 to spend on gifts for each other. They have two prized possessions: Jim’s pocket watch, which previously belonged to his father and grandfather, and Della’s long hair. In “The Gift of the Magi,” Jim and Della Dillingham Young are a young couple of modest means. ![]()

Universally adored Cake eagerly introduces new-treat-on-the-block Pie to everyone, only to learn that Pie really loves the limelight (“Yes, I know-I am quite a dish!”).

A new mix of policy instruments is required, supported by a bold new plan of action for the G8. ![]() Aid has been ineffective, and globalisation has made things worse. These traps are not inescapable, but standard solutions will not work. These countries, and the billion people who live in them, are caught in one or another of four traps: the conflict trap the natural resources trap the trap of being landlocked with bad neighbours and the trap of bad governance in a small country. This book argues the real challenge of development is the small group of countries that are falling behind and often falling apart. ![]() |
