There are several elements that
make a story interesting These may vary
from person to person . However, “ The Gift Of The Magi” has been a well-loved
story for generations. A lot of people must find it interesting! I’d suggest
there are two main reasons. First, it uses irony. Second, it has a meaningful
theme.
Irony is when something happens in a story that you don’t
expect. In this case, the young husband and wife each buy each other a gift
that they can’t use. What makes this ironic is that each one gives up something
he or she appreciates in order to get something nice for the other one. Jim a
watch chain. The new gift are useless, because they can only be used with the
possessions they sold. The irony is unexpected and helps make the story
interesting.
Another reason the story is interesting is because it has
meaningful themes, or messages. People find stories more interesting when they
can make personal connections to them. There are many themes you could take
from this story. One theme is that love is more valuable than property. They
love each other, and that matters more than their most valued possessions. They
don’t realize this until the end. Receiving, or that a gift is more valuable
when it comes from sacrifice.
