Co what can you infer?
o. henry, whose real name was william sydney porter, wrote the short story "the gift of the magi."
it was published in 1910.
below are the opening paragraphs of the story. read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.
ne dollar and eighty-seven cents. that was all. and sixty cents of it was in
pennies. pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and
the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent
imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. three times della counted it.
one dollar and eighty-seven cents. and the next day would be christmas.
there was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. so
della did it. which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and
smiles, with sniffles predominating.
1. why is della crying?
2.what does christmas have to do with her years?
3.how did she get the money?
4.what does o. henry mean by “with sniffles predominating”?

Plz im willing to put all my points on the line for this so it would be very nice if u guys could (there is also brainliest on the line)think of an intense argument you had or witnessed sometime in your life. close your eyes and remember every detail. to turn this into a dramatic scene you will need to make changes that will make it make more sense to the audience 500-600 words a description of the set up that explains what happened before the scene diction that matches the characters character objectives and obstacles are clearly conveyed a scene that escalates in dramatic intensity diction that is appropriate to the audience words that are not wasted in idle chit chat action (stage directions) that enhance the scene proper formatting for dramatldr i need a 500- 600 word argument that is understandable ot a high school audience
