Sample Response: Della and Jim both make
sacrifices for each other because they care about each
other. Della sacrifices her hair, and Jim sacrifices his
watch. Even though their sacrifices make them unable
to use each other's presents, they realize how important
their love is. This makes them wise, as the theme
suggests.
