The Gift Of The Magi In the story “The Gift Of The Magi” by O. Henry, I think that the author mainly used three of the seven elements. The three elements that I thought he, O. Henry, put to great use in this short story were plot, theme, and tone. The other four elements were used as well, but were weak. When talking about the author and how he worked the plot with the story, …showed first 75 words of 605 total…

…showed last 75 words of 605 total…reader which makes this element essential to the short story. Secondly the theme carries the reader with the idea of important aspects in life and lastly the tone supports the story when dealing with writer’s attitude towards the characters and life. Through all the supports mentioned, I believe that plot, theme, and tone out of all seven elements made a difference in the story, rather than the other four (elements). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** literature book
