Question

Which statement BEST explains O. Henry’s purpose in writing “The Gift of the Magi”?

Answer 1

Yeah you didn't put any statements, but if I were to guess, I would think his purpose in writing it would be to show that money isn't what matters in life. What matters in life is family and love for your fellow man.

Answer 2

So you didn't put any statements...but here's what it's about.

"The Gift of the Magi" is a short story, written by O. Henry, about a young married couple and how they deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money
