Answer:

I like O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" more because it revolves around selfless love and consideration for others, which is the greatest gift of all.

Step-by-step explanation:

In between the two choices of either "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell or O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi", O. Henry's story resonates more with me. I love the story of the gift of giving better.

The story "The Gift of the Magi" revolves around two people who kept others first instead of their own needs. And in their act of humility, Della and Jim showed how rewarding it is to put others first. And it was this humble act of kindness that they were able to understand, and also reveal to the readers, how nothing compares to the gift of selfless giving.
