The author make a story his or her own by adding things that define the way he writes these kinds of stories, like on the sory gift of the magi, the way he wrote this story is with love and sarcasm. He made that story his with the way he wrote it, the things that author uses. For example in the story after twenty years by O. Henry, he uses a style of suspense because at the end on after 20 year it ends with him getting caught and you didn't know what was going to happen next until you read. Going back to the gift of the magi, the author makes the story his by using many styles of figurative language and one of those is imagery,by doing that the author makes us imagine what he is telling us. The author used this intentionally to affect the reader
