- EXPOSITION
- Oh no! Tomorrow is Christmas and I don't have money to buy Jim a present.
- RISING ACTION
- What if I sell my hair so I can buy Jim's present?
- RISING ACTION
- Give it to me quick.
- I'm going to give you twenty dollars for your hair.
- Della was sad because she only had $1.87 and the next day was Christmas. Della wanted to buy her husband Jim a present but she didn't have enough money.
- CLIMAX
- Della...
- I had to sell my hair. Don't you like me just as well, anyhow?
- The young couple had two prized possessions in which they both took a mighty pride. Jim's was his gold watch that had belonged to his grandfather and to his father. Della's was her long hair.
- FALLING ACTION
- I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.
- Della went to sell her hair at "Mme Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds." She now had $21.87 for Jim's gift.
- RESOLUTION
- There is nothing that makes me love you less.
- I love you Jim. Let's enjoy Christmas together.
- Jim was speechless when he got home and saw Della's hair. He didn't know how to react.
- Jim was speechless because he had bought Della some combs for her long hair. On the other hand, Della had bought him a watch chain but neither gift could be used as they both sold her most prized possessions.
- I sold my hair so I could buy your chain.
- Although the gifts were useless, the most important thing is the love and sacrifice they gave to buy it.
