I blame the two familys for the death of Romeo and Juliet. They fell in love and love is a force that is vary hard to break. the familys did not approve of what thay had. So they had to keep it a secret. If they told them maby they would of took it as a peace offering. And stop the family fued for good.
If the capulet fryer would have made it to Romeo and told him what Juliet plan was he would of never went to get poison to kill himself. He would of seen her awake from the sleep she was in.
You can also blame it on them to they know where from two family that dident like each other. He should of just left her alone and tryed to get at some other girl. And her being the girl she should be responble to know that it would se stupid to date a man from the montuge house when she knows her family dont like each other.

Who To Blame? Viridiana Becerra
Who is it's fault for the death of Romeo & Juliet?
I think that Baltazar is the reason for the death of Romeo & Juliet. Because if he hadn't gone to tell Romeo that Juliet was "died" Romeo wouldn't have gone to Juliet's tum and killed himself. Then Juliet wouldn't have found Romeo died on the ground and killed herself with Romeo's knife.
if the friar John had not been there at that time that they got caught with the pl age and went to Romeo before Baltazar got to him, nothing would have happened. Baltazar just had to go to Romeo immediately to tell Romeo that Juliet had "died."Romeo wouldn't have done what he did. Romeo & Juliet would still be alive and would have gone to live to Montua and would live a happy life.
Destiny is another reason of why Romeo & Juliet died. Like I always say "somethings in life just happen for a reason." Romeo & Juliet's death was meant to happen and no one would have stopped it. Even thought, the friar would have gone first and told Romeo the plan and if Romeo didn't kill Tybalt at the first place. I think that it all happened so that everyone that lived around them could at "least" let them be together. Destiny and Baltazar are the main reason for the death of Romeo & Juliet.

Andrew Rohrich- Romeo and Jueliet
In Romeo and Jueliet, everybody is to blame for the deaths of the "star crossed lovers" in some way shape or form. Rosaline is to blame for not swallowing her pride and sleeping with romeo. Benvolio is to blame for taking romeo to the party. Even the friar has a role in the deaths, and a rather big one at that.
Rosaline, a beautifull name. Rosaline played a huge role in the play, even though she was not a main character. She played the role of the fox, the "one that got away." Romeo just couldn'nt cut it with her. If she would have guiven up her pride and slept with romeo, this would not have happened.
Honest benvolio, yet the name stands true. It was a kind gesture to a freind that he took Romeo to the party. A comforting attempt that would indeed lead to death. He is not to blame for being a freind, he is to blame for forever joining the star crossed lovers, joining there fate's as well.
Friar lawrance, an honest preist to the high church of the land. He did make a mistake of attempting to prematurely ending the fued. In the end he did end the fued, but at what cost? the death of four is a verry high price to pay for a little scuffle.
Everyone has a role and purpose in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Everyone from the nurse to paris. Lady Capulet to the prince. The star crossed lovers could never be, yet they always were. they are forever tangled in todays modern scociety.

Joseph Krupka Romeo and Juliet
If someone asked me who killed Romeo and Juliet, i would say everyone played a part in the death of Romeo an Juliet. There is a chain reaction as to how the eventually died. Overall, they committed suicide because they felt they would never be together.
Juliet killed herself because Romeo died. Romeo killed himself because he thought Juliet was dead. He thought Juliet was dead because Balthazar thought she died and told Romeo. Romeo never received word that Juliet was faking death. Juliet faked death because she wanted to sneak out of town to see Romeo. She wanted to to sneak out of town because Romeo was banned from the town. Etc.

Gladys Ruiz-Final Exam
The death of Edgar Allan Poe is a pretty difficult case to understand. First of all in articles it says that Poe was found outside of an Alcoholic Stupor, which is a bar. It mentions that Poe was found drinking and got really drunk and that is what caused his death. In the other hand people have investigated that he was never drunk and he was wearing someones clothes and that he had gotten bitten or scratched and which lead him to rabies. Poe ended up in the hospital, he was really suffering while being there. His face was pale and he drenched with sweat.
Another way of stating Poe's case was false, that he did not get bitten or scratched and that it was a false lie. It also says that he had gotten drunk and that is how his life came to in end. It also mentions that if was a sign of a false and a weakness in the theory. What I think happend was that Edgar Allan was infected with rabies but never went for a check-up at the doctor so then one day he was walking by the bar and decided to go inside for some enjoyment and possibly got drunk and forgot that he got bitten until he had gotten to the hospital when they tested in positive of having rabies.
In other words Poe's case has a lot of other similarity symptoms, but yet those articles have their ways of stating the point of view of Poe's case. After all of the investigations and stuff yet we still don't know the real case of Edgar Allan Poe.

He married he young cuzen. she stated that when poe got drunk he would get ungreatful. Poe then later left to boltemore.
When poe arived he was seen in cloths that was not in his manor the cloths where torn and vary old and worn.It looked like he was robbed of his suit and could have been beaten.
When poe was a young man he strugled with drinking problems. As he got older he advoid it as much a possible.As he got older achol would make him sick for day and vay violent.
poe had alot of sigh of rabies. But not sighs of bite marks or scatches. Poe did not act like him self while in the hostible calling out names and be beligerint.
On poes final day he was really wild and trying to walk and leave then later setteled down and died.He did not have no bite marks. Most of the time peaple could not remeber being bitttin.Rabbies could take more then a year to show semtoms.
but if he was beaten that first night in boltmore he could of had intenal bleeding. Beacuse at that time there was not no MRI or cat scan avable to him.

Ramsey Forcier - Final Exam
How did Edgar Allen Poe die? This question has still yet to be answered. But there are four main theories to which his death occurred.
Article one, Poe's Death Is Rewritten as Case of Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol, September 15th, 1996, was said to be Poe's death caused by rabies not alcohol.He didn't recall being bitten but did have encephalitic, or swelling of the brain caused by diseases such as rabies. It was said to believe that the fourth day in the hospital he spent confused and belligerent.Then got quiet and died.
Article two, If Only Poe Had Succeeded When He Said Nevermore to Drink, September 23rd, 1996, believed that Poe died from alcohol poisoning.He was frequently apologizing to his wife promising to "Nevermore to drink." And footage reveals him stumbling out of a bar one night. Dr. R. Michael Benitez apologized for the wrong cause of death, that was said to be rabies that killed Poe. Poe then dies on October 7th.
Article three, Rabies Death Theory, September 30th, 1996, was said to go back to the death of rabies. Much like article one with the incentive that just because one does not recall being bitten doesn't mean one was never bitten.
Article four, Poe's Final Days, written on the unknown. Said to be Poe's death caused by first by alcohol then the flu. To drunk to care about the wind and rain, got sick and couldn't get better. But studies show that there was also symptoms of encephalitic, the same symptoms Poe " had" when said to be diagnosed with rabies.
IN all the articles there seemed to be alcohol or the bar and symptoms of rabies like confusion and belligerents. All articles seem to be realistic,but which one is it? I seem to believe that Edgar Allen Poe didn't die from alcohol poisoning or the flu, but from being drunk and getting bitten by a rabies infected animal and not being able to remember it.

How Did Poe Die? Viridiana Becerra Final Exam
Rabies Encephalitis was the cause of the death of Edger Allen Poe. i believe that has to be reason of Poe's death, because he might had been infected with it and never knew, till the last minute that he died. if Poe had die from Alcohol he would have had a alcohol poison before he died at the hospital. But Poe was prespiring heavily, hallucinating, and shouting imaginary companions.
Poe's cat was also found died but they said that it died form starvation. But at that time they didn't have vaccines for animals that had rabies. They had made vaccines for people, but have not found the virus that caused rabies.
Dr. R. Michael Benitez a cardiologist, a assistant professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center, had heard that Poe had been seen at a bar , but was not drunk. Poe had somebodies else's cloths. Poe had never had drunken in his living years. If Poe had drank that night he would be really sick for days. About one forth of the victims of rabies clam to not even remember that they have been bitten by an animal. Poe might have not remember that he had bitten. Then die after the symptoms have appeared a year later, said Dr. Henry Wilde.
But not even the CT's or the MRI's could prove that Edger Poe died from alcohol poison or from Encephalitis Rabies.
Drew Bowers Final Exam
In all of the articals, Edgar Allen Poe dies of either alchohol, rabies, or weather. I think that the articals about him dieing of rabies are fake. One suggests that he contracted the virus from his cat. But poor little Caterina was never sick. Poe died in the hospital & they say it was from rabies. But one major symptom of rabies is a rash. The rash can spread from a limb to a whole half of the body. How could the doctors have not noticed?
In the other artical, Poe died of alchohol. I think this could possibly be true. I think the enviroment could have also helped to Poe's downfall. Some parts of their stories could possibly been made up. Since I dont know who to beleive I decided to try to figure out how he died from their information, & some of my own thinking. I think that Edgar Allen Poe was killed by both the alchohol & the weather.
Poe was dressed in a short sleeved shirt & shorts. It had been snowy & cold so he obviously chose the wrong clothes. He then found shelter in a saloon were he proceeded to get drunk. Oblivious to the impact of the alchohol's effect to his body, it lowered his immune system alowing a virus like pneumonia to infect him. He was found at the saloon & taken to the hospital. He then developed shakes & delleria. Four days later he died.

Ashley Roney- Final Exam
I honestly think that Mr. Poe died from being out in the rainy, snowy whether in a short sleeved shirt, and shorts. And him being exceedingly drunk, made it easier for the virus to infect his body. Mr. Walker arranged for a room for Poe at the tavern. And when Mr. Snodgrass arrived he foudn Poe slouching in a chair with a dumb look on his face surrounded by people.
They took Poe to the hospital to be examined by doctors to see what was wrong with him. He was no doubt diagnosed with pneumonia. He later discovered he had the tremors. Because he was shaking uncontrollably. But it didnt stop there. He was also found with delirium . And Poe was seeing very odd things in his room. Things he couldnt explain. Later he was found dead because of the things he had.
In my opinion i think the other articles we're lieing about some facts they had stated in the previous readings. I dont think he got rabies because they say he got them from his cat, Catrina, and died way before Poe died. But she died of starvation a while after Poe did. But not everything in the other articles is false. Because some of the articles said that catrina didn't die from rabies before Poe did. And Poe had a wife named Virginia, and in one article they said that Poe was delirious and he hadn't a wife. But early it stated he was married to Virginia Clemm. And in another article it stated he was a widow. So they are all messed up and have no idea what they are talking about.

Tara Campbell Final Exam
I believe that Edgar Poe did not die of being drunk that he died of rabies like the doctor said. I know that he had died October 7, 1849. Poe also died in a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Poe was also born and raised there too. I know that Poe did not die drunk. In fact he did not die with a drop of alcohol in his system. They may of found him in a gutter outside of a bar or pub, but they couldn't find any alcohol in his system. He was completely clean.
They did find rabies in his system. It seems like that alcohol did a lot to his system. When he was younger he had glass of wine and was violently ill for 4 days. in his opinion, he thinks that people should not dink any alcohol at all. I believe that too. Because alcohol does nothing but mess up your system and that goes the same with drugs.
It took him 4 days to die because the rabies were slowly eating and destroying his system. they found out that he had rabies because he had all the symptoms that anyone else would have of they had it. he had a hydrophobia or fear of water. He was so bad that he had a hard time drinking water. This is a symptom of rabies because it was painful to swallow.
The doctor said that his cat did not give him his rabies. he thinks that another animal gave it to him. but he thinks that he should of noted is because the cat was infected with rabies. the cat was given to Clemm, a friend, so the so that she may take Caterina, the cat, and give it a home. the cat surprisingly was not affected by his death, had died a week later of starvation when abandoned by Clemm in Bronx, New York.

Von Kerr Andrew Pascual-Final Exam
A lot of people knows Poe and a lot of people have a lot of theory of how he died. But i don't know Poe is. But I think the first two theory of how died are Alcoholism and rabies.
Poe's death is a mystery. But I think their best theory alcoholism or too much of drinking. But people and journalist saw him infront of the bar and he is not drunk. So they came up for another theory.
The another theory is Rabies. They said that maybe his cat bit him or scratch him. But doctor said that his cat has no rabies. and people think taht maybe bat bitten him or scratch him. Another journalist and doctor said that maybe I'll from exposure. But for me taht was imposible.
But the truth is I don't know how he died because they don't have enough information. and they have a lot of theory. People always came up with another theory if their theory is wrong. What's wrong with people? So yeah, it's hard to understand what happen.

Joseph Krupka Final Exam
How did Poe die? this question still has many answers and conflicts today. One theory says he died of rabies, another said it was alcohol. It also could have been encephalitis related to rabies. Many more theories still remain.
Very few humans have ever had the disease rabies, even fewer could remember it being animal related. When Poe was sent to the hospital for rabies, they said there was no animal bite. Poe did show signs of rabies but nothing would support the fact that he actually had rabies. He did have a cat, but the cat did not have any diseases at all.
Another theory was that he died of alcohol. Back then, a few people claimed they saw Poe in a bar on Lombard street. theories say that he was delirious and that it worsened. people claimed that he had consumed too much alcohol.
One other big theory going around was that he had encephalitis. people say he got this from being too drunk to care about the cold, wintry weather. people have also stated that he left Richmond with a fever.
From this information, we can conclude that he may have died from some sort of illness. we may not know exactly what illness he may of died from, but everyone has a different story to tell. what ever you may believe is good enough for me.

Andrew Rohrich- Final Exam
Edgar Alan Poe, a writer with such a documented life, yet such a misteriouse death. Rabies has a much greater scource of evidence rather than the drunkard side, with it's "he said, she said" base. His cat may be one peice of evidence, also with the fact that at that point in time, there was no vacenes for pets.
I'm not saying that his poor cat is the definate scource of his rabies. Although there is the posability that Caterina, his beloved kitty, delivered the final blow to this writers legacy of beautifull words and lyrics, and the death of one of english's greatest writers. It is also duely noted that at that time, there was no vacenes for pets.
Acording to Dr. Henry Wilde, who frequently treats cases of rabies at the Chulalongcorn University Hospital in Bangkok, Thiland, Poe had all of the symptoms of encyphilitic rabies. Encyphilitic rabies cause a swelling of the brain, causing the halucinations that poe expirienced in his last four days at the hospital.
Overal rabies has a much wider evidence base than the fable of the drunkard side. With it's much larger list of "he said, she said" acounts that no one will commit to. Although there have been acounts of after poes death of his doctor sending leters to his family, none of the letters have been found. In the end, it all comes down to evidence.

Holly Ellingson Final Exam
Well honestly I don't know how he died. All four of the articles supported on how he "supposedly" past on. Some say "he wouldn't touch alcohol.", others say "he was found in a ditch drunk."
The rabies article seems to be true but they say that there was no bite mark or scratch to be found, but he had all the syptoms of rabies. It even says doctors were there to watch Poe go through everything. They say he was hallucinating, and shouting at imaginary people. They also say that Poe refused alcohol and only drank water but it was really hard or him to get the water down. (But he was sick, and usually if people are sick they wouldn't want to drink alcohol anyways?) So there is "evidence" to say he died from rabies, but who knows?
Then there is drinking. One of the articles says that Poe already had a drinking problem and was sending letters to his wife and wifes mother that he was going to "reform" (make himself better.) Poe was supposely found outside a Baltimore saloon in an alcholic stupor, and died four days later. There isn't as much "evidence" in this article then in the rabies articles. It's hard for me to say how he died?
Both reasons of his death seem to have "back up". But I think that he died of like a sickness like flu. So I lean more torwards the side that he died from rabies, because he was having a hard time breathing and hallucinating so I think that it is rabies. He could have been drinking and that could of helped been part of his death. But really I don't know.

Then there is drinking. One of the articles says that Poe already had a drinking problem and was sending letters to his wife and wifes mother that he was going to "reform" (make himself better.) Poe was supposely found outside a Baltimore saloon in an alcholic stupor, and died four days later. There isn't as much "evidence" in this article then in the rabies articles. It's hard for me to say how he died?
Both reasons of his death seem to have "back up". But I think that he died of like a sickness like flu. So I lean more torwards the side that he died from rabies, because he was having a hard time breathing and hallucinating so I think that it is rabies. He could have been drinking and that could of helped been part of his death. But really I don't know.
christina gunyah final exam
i think that people are having a hard time believing that poe died of a bite in 1849, a docter says that it is a bite and then someone else says that it is from being drunk or exposure to anything. my oppinion is that they should just figure it out on there own i think that maybe if it comes down to it maybe he was drunk or maybe it was from a bite who knows?
in the article "if only poe had suceeded when he said nevermore to drink", this article states that the doctor or medical examiner Dr. r. michael benitez, the guy who said that it was a bite and not alcohol, this article states that he was wrong to diagnose that edgar allen poe died from a bite when he was spotted at a bar and that it was alcohol.
in the article "rabies death theory" it says that to the contrary to a september 23rd letter, that they do not "admit" that it was an animal bite and that it just happened pretty much.
i personally think that the symptoms they named do lead to it being a bite which im saying he may of died of rabbies but who knows not me i think that some stories are unsolved this one may be thought solved but in reality its not i think that if they cant decide if its rabbies or alcohol then its not solved and let me tell you it seems like there having a hard time figuring it out to me so i think it is unsolved
in the articles it says that he had a cat and that the cat died of rabbies but they dont think that the cat gave the rabbies to poe, people are still saying it was alcahol that killed him but in one of the articles it says that evan a small glass or whine could hurt poe, so what do we say to that truth of false we dont know what he died from exactly but hey we will never know will we?

The theme of this story i would say is the part when jim got della thi beautiful rock.She said let me see your watch i want to see if it fits.So then he just told her to put the presents away and save them for a while.Also he didn't open the presentdella gave him so she felt uncomfortable and instead he told her to put them away and save them.Another theme theme is the part when they talked about the wise men or the MAGI'S that;s what they call them.Then it's like they are saints because they give presents to to the good kids not the bad kids.Also they go around town and give presents to the wise kids only and of how they invented the way they give there presents.Last this story is kind of good and it has a good theme to go with this i liked it.

Omar,Guijarro- Final Exam
The Main idea for me was that Della was always trying to find a way to get money to buy Jim a gift. It was the main idea to me because they bot sold something very valuble to buy a gift.
The thing that Della sold that was very valuble to her was her hair . It was valuble to her because she thought that Jim was going to thing that she was ugly. So she prayed to God and said," Plaese God, make him think i am still pretty.
The thing that Jim sold that was very valuble to him was his watch that belonged to his father and his granfather. It was valuble to him because it was passed down from his grandfather, to his dad, and now him. With the money that he got for the watch , he bought the comb that Della had always worshiped for long in a Broadway window.
Those were the resons that I thought that the main idea was some one always trying to find a way to get money to buy someone els a gift.

Priscilla Poasa Final Exam
THE THEME
The theme of this story. Is that Della, should of disgusted it with Jim.
The reason why is because she could of never cut her hair,but the gift was a very
nice for Jim. Which it had belong to Jims grand father and also greatgrand father.
People shouldnt do things with out thinking over it first.
The other thing I would say is that Jim did a good thing because he had sold his watch
to gat Della a present. So what im saying is give and it'll come back to you. Which he
had sold the watch and got it right back.
People should just appreciate what they have and can afford,but dont just go off doing
those things. People should just be glad what they have and dont have and dont have.
Even if he got his watch back. Della still lost something of hers wich was her hair,but
shes fine with it. So dont make funny little mistakes like this.
Alexa Rivera-Final Summary
Summary-Main Idea
Well in the "Gift of the Magi" a girl named Della only has $1.87. She really wants to buy Jim a Christmas present, but after months of saving she could only save up $1.87. So she came up with an idea that would able her to get him something.
She went to "Mme. Sofronie. Hair goods of all kinds." She went to see how much her long brunette hair would be worth. The lady that worked there, Madame said that her hair was worth twenty-dollars. So Della cut off her long brunette hair then she went look for the perfect gift for Jim.
She found a fob chain for the watch he loved for twenty-one dollars. She went home and waited for him to come home to see his reaction to her hair and his gift. When he arrived she was in for a suprise because it turned out that he sold his watch to get her the beautiful combs that she wanted, even though now she had no long hair.
Tia Cooper Final Exam
The theme of the story would have to be never give away or cut your hair to get money. The reason why I think that is because you can earn money in many other ways. Even if you really do like that person you can just tell them you will have get your present after Christmas. And if they like you back they will understand. If they don't you should reconsider liking them. But I would never cut my hair to sell for money and buy a present with the money I got. Even though she only had 1.87 she should have just gotten Jim a card and tell him how you really feel. Instead of going through something she really doesn't have to do. At the end Della find out that Jim doesn't really care how your hair looks. Because she was feeling real bad that she cut her hair. Started to feel ugly. So Jim through the present that he got Della on the table. He told her '' i don't care if you get your hair cut or shaved and that doesn't really matter to him.'' so what that tells me is all he really cares about is her personality. And that she cut her hair for nothing and that she should have just told him that she couldn't afford to him anything.
Raymond Lee - Final Exam
In the story of “Gift of the Magi”, I noticed two of different themes. They were: “irony” and “loves conqueres all”.
In my opinion the whole story is ironic. We have the wife, Della, that shaves her head and sells all of her hair to buy her loving husband his Christmas present. Now the husband, Jim, who sells his watch to buy his wife her Christmas present. Keep in mind that they are both poor, unwealthy people; that's why they sold their belongings. Now when it's time to open their presents, Della's is ironically a set of combs. When Jim opened his present, it was a chain for his watch. Ironic, no?
Now in all reality this story came out to be a love/ironic story. Even after she was completely bald, not a hair on her head, he still loved her. Even though he sold his watch, she wasn't mad. (Maybe because both of their situations kind of evened out.) Either way, love conqueres all.

Ashley Roney- Final Exam
Della was really sad, crying, feeling lousy. She felt like that because all she had was 87 cents. That definately wasnt enough to get Jim his christmas present. So she went to a store. Cut off all of her hair. And sold it to the girl for $20. And she was on her way to find Jim his present.
Della went looking for the perfect present. She turned all the stores inside out to find something. Looked all over, ransacking every place. When she finally found it she thought it was the most wonderful thing she's ever seen. She knew that was the right one for Jim. And knew he'd love it. So she gave the sales person her $20 and was now on her way home to get ready for Jim's arrival.
Jim had a blank expression on his face. Della was so scared. She didn't know what to think. But she told Jim that she was the same person and nothing really had changed. But all Jim could say was "you cut your hair?" And she replied that she would start cooking dinner. He came back to reality and told her that nothing could change his mind about her. That she could shave her head and he would feel the same way about her. And he put the present for della out on the table. She opened it and saw that it was something she's wanted for such a long time. They were so beautiful, with the jewels that was surrounding the edges. They were the nicest combs she's ever seen. And they were hers. He had exclaimed that he had to sell his watch for her to get those.

The gift of Magi Main Idea
I believe that the main idea is that you don't buy something that someone else doesn't need. That is the main idea to me. When she sold all of her hair, I thought that was a big mistake. She could of bought something else for the money that she already has. Back in the 1800's she could of bought him a new watch for what the money is worth today. For her hair it might grow back but she did not need to buy him something that he did not need to do that.Her hair may grow back but their love will stay forever. She should of known that he would of loved her for what she is on the inside not for what she looks like on the outside.

Ramsey Forcier - Final Exam
The theme of this story is that people go through great lenghts to get their loved ones something perfect. And will do what ever is needed to do so. But you have to think about what the other person is going to do to get you what you want. Are they going to give up something valuable to them to get you the perfect gift? For example, Della didn't have enough money to buy Jim (boyfriend and girlfriend in the story) a new strap for his watch that has been passed down to him from generation to generation so she sells her long, beautiful hair for twenty dollars. She went searching for the perfect gift. She finally finds this chain that shines in the light. She goes home and waits for him to get home. He finally arrives and gives Della her present.

She gives him her gift but finds out Jim sold his watch to get her the comb set.
Holly Ellingson/Final Exam! :]
The theme of this story "Gift of the Magi" is people go to extreme measures for people they love. For example Della (the girlfriend in the story) cut her long, beautiful hair to get money to buy her boyfriend a perfect Christmas present. Because she only had a $1.27 on Christmas Eve, which wouldn't be enough at all. Then James (Dellas boyfriend) sold his very old, valuable watch to buy Della a perfect Christmas gift. Because he was also short on money. Then in the end when they give each other the gifts they realise both the gifts that they got each other were for the valuable thing they had in the first place. So the theme is exactly right in this story, people do extreme things for there loved ones.

The Gift Of Magi main idea
I think the main idea of the story was about two people. these two people (who love each other )give up their most precious treasures to buy each other a gift to go along with the other persons treasure. They give each other the gifts & are suprised to learn that the other sold the item that the gifts were to go along with.
Unkowingly, Della (who only has $1.87 to for Christmas) sells her hair (Dellas most precious item) for $20. She then goes on a rampage to find her dearst Jim a gift. She finnaly finds it ( a platnum fod chain) & buys it for Jim. She then reaturns home to wait for him.
When Jim reaturns he stares at her. Then he is shoked to see that Della had sold her hair. Jim gives her his gift. When Della opens it she screms with joy. Then cries tears of irony, Jim had gotten her combes! Della gives him her gift & askes him to put it on his watch. Jim sits down on the couch & tells Della he sold his watch (the chain was for & Jims most precious item) to buy her the combes!

main idea-
the main i dea in my eyes is that people will do anything for someone they love and that means that they will cut ther hair and sell things... when you love someone you will do anything for them to get either present or just because they need warmth. lets say if you wife or husband is cold and you warm as a summer day you would probobly give them you jacket because you love them, like this story she didnt have enough money yet so she tried to find a way to get more money when she was walking down the street she saw as ign and she found a lady who would buy her hair because her hair was georgeous and she bought her man jim something for his watch when she got home all she did was await when he walked he was probobly stunned that her hair was cut when he gave her her present she found out why he was so stunned he had gotten her the combs that she has wanted for forever and she was exited when she opened them when he opened his present she said let me see your watch and he told her that he sold his watch for the combs and for me that means the they sacrifice preacious things for peple they love so that is wahat i think the main idea should be it should be that no matter what thill death do part you will do watever it takes for someone you love
