Gift Of The Magi

The story and the play are similar but yet different. The story and the play are similar in the fact that they both have the same theme that " It is better to give than recieve". Della had cut and sold her hair, so she could buy Jim a gold chain; likewise Jim had sold his gold watch, so he could get her the hair combs. Della cryed, because she was poor and couldn't find a way to get money for a gift for Jim. At the end of the story and the play Jim and Della were very happy that they got each other a gift for Christmas.

Altough the story has many similarities there are some differnces. In the story Della gets $200 for her hair; in the same way in the play she only gets $20 for her hair.
