It’s amazing and unpredictable story. I’m so surprise when read word by word the story. It’s so touching my heart. Della is the main character of the story. She is wife of Jim. She want to give a present to her husband in Christmas’ night but she don’t have much money for it. Whereas, she want to buy a Chain for her husband watch. She cut and sell her hair to get money. If I in her position, I will be sad and confuse about my problem. I want to buy a gift for my husband but i don’t have money. I’m so eager to make my husband happy. I will be very sad if I don’t get money for it. I will try to think hardly, I will not cut my hair and sell it because my husband love my hair certainly. I don’t want make him dissapointed. I’m looking for the other job like to be waitress or washing plate in Restaurant, to be an Employee in Department store. I will do everything for my husband because I love him. No one can count my love for him. I will work hardly, because I want to make my husband happy in special day. When, i got the job. I will save money for buy something that use for my husband, something that he want to buy but it not happen yet.
In the story, Della describe as a good wife who love with her husband because She think hardly to looking for money to buy a present for her husband. She want to make her husband happy. Della is patient woman who never sad about her bad economic to his husband. She receive him without requirement. She always care of him, she always beautiful in her husband eyes. She is a religious woman who always remember her God and pray to his. She is a soft girl, she will be very sad if she can’t give a present to her husband in Christmas’ night. She is sacrifice woman because she wiling cut her hair and sell it for give a present to her husband. The story become turning point when Della Opened her gift from her husband. It’s one set of the combs. She understand why her husband so shocked when look her short hair. Della think, her husband angry because of it. In the fact, not. Her husband assure her, he will love her no matter how she looks. And Her husband sold her watch to buy the combs. That it doesn't really matter that Jim and Della's presents turned out to be useless. They are the wisest givers of all. The story happen in a Apartment and in a hair shop down the street from the apartment while Winter season near Christmas’ night. I like the setting, the author so smart bundle the setting of place and time completely. It’s grow the good short story. It’s Love and Generosity story. From the story we can get message that Della and Jim gie each other the best of all possible gift. It doesn.t matter that Jim no longer has the gold watch to display on the elegant chain that Della gave him. Nor does it matter that Della no longer has long luxurious hair to comb with the gift Jim gave her. What matters is that they have is each other. The world will be beautifully if each other give another.
The extra ordinary problem for Della is when she cut her hair and selling her hair. It’s decisive action. By selling her hair, Della gets the money to buy Jim a great present. Della did it decisively, She thinks Jim will be pleased by Della’s action and appreciate her gift. It possible matter, when we love someone, We will do everything for our love. In my opinion, Della want to show her big love that can’t count by anything to her husband. A Happiness when we can do something that make our husband happy. I feel satisfied although I must wiling something that special for me.
The decisive action that did by Della, sometime not with long thinking. Della not think if her husband will be angry with her doing with the hair he loved so much. Della so brief consider to cut her hair and sell it without remember it. If I in her position, I will be carefull when do something, I dont want make my present to be his sadness. I don’t want make him dissapointed. I will get the other job that can deliver money to buy a present in special day.
The short story was very unpredictable in the end, I feel surprise and happy when read it. The author so smart grouping words to be a beautiful sentence that make the reader and listener fly and inspire it.
