That tells me that she cares a lot about how she looks and what other people think of her. Another trait that Della had was generous. The text states that Della sold her hair that she was very proud of for a present for Jim. That proves that Della is very generous. One final character trait that Della has is loving. I know that because the text states that she hunted all over town for a present for Jim. That tells me that she worked hard to get the present for Jim . ]]> 2017-12-19 15:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217276887 Chris XDDD https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217276911 I would describe Della's character trait as generous because she cut all of her hair just to buy Jim a  Platinum fob chain while Jim sold his watch so he can buy Della combs and it states ''Twenty dollars,'' said Madame, lifting the mass with a practice]]> 2017-12-19 15:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217276911 *VALERIE* :) https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217276919 In the story "The Gift Of The Magi" I would describe Della as selfless because she cut her hair to buy her husband a chain for his clock. For example in the story  "The Gift Of The Magi" it states " Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practiced hand. " Its a deal, but do it quickly," said Della." This means that Della was brave and generous enough to cut her hair in order to get money to buy her husband Jim a gift for Christmas. ]]> 2017-12-19 15:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217276919 Daniela:) https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277015 I would describe Della's character in the story "The Gift of the Magi" as self-councious and positive because she is very nervous about what her husband will think of her hair, and she reasures her husband her hair will grow back fast. She shows self councisnes by saying " If Jim doesen't kill me, 'she said to herself,' before he takes a second look at me  , he'll say I look like a Coney Island chourus girl." This is showing that Della worried about what Jim would think before he even saw her. Della shows being positive by saying "My hair grows so fast, Jim." This is showing that Della is being positive by telling Jim that she will be able to use the combs soon.]]> 2017-12-19 15:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277015 *Kathy* https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277064  If I were to describe Della's character in the story, "The Gift of the Magi"  I would describe her as poor because she wanted to buy her husband a present an expensive gift but she barely had two dollars. The story tells me that Della is poor when the text says, "ONE dollar and eighty- seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time." In addition to that the text also states, "Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine, rare , and expensive -- something that Jim would be proud to own." This tells me that she didn't want to buy her husband a cheap gift she wanted it to be a gift that he would remember and cherish forever. ]]> 2017-12-19 15:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277064 CAMERON https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277069 In the story Gift Of The Magi I would describe Della's character as positive and upbeat because she got jim a gift.In the text she states "It'll grow out again you won't mind will you?I just had to.My hair grows awfully fast.Say 'Merry Christmas!Jim and let"s be happy.This shows Della wants Jim to be happy about the change she did for his platinum chain for his watch.]]> 2017-12-19 15:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277069 Isaac bes_whitley_i https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277087 I would describe Della's as generous because she cut her hair off for Jim. in the text she states  Its sold I tell sold and gone too Its chrismas Eve Be good to me for it went for you]]> 2017-12-19 15:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277087 Dana :) https://padlet.com/smith1/7050x8yy44zf/wish/217277111 In the story "The Gift of the Magi" I would describe Della's character as positive because she tried to make Jim feel better. In the story it says "But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look with dim and a smile and say: My hair grows so fast, Jim.
