Read the excerpt from O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magl." Which three sentences in this passage reflect outdated stereotypes of men and women?
White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy, and then, alasl a quick feminine change to hysterical
tears and walls, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.
For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure
tortoise shell, with Jewelled rims just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart
had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have
adorned the coveted adornments were gone.
But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim."
And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, ohi"
Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a
reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.
"Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to
see how it looks on it."
Instead of obeying Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.
"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the
money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."
