The Sesame Street video and The Gift of the Magi are very similar. Yet they also have many differences. The Gift of the Magi is about two people that sacrifice their most loved items to get something to go with the other person's sacrificed thing. The Sesame Street video was a version of the same thing. Some similarities between the two are the characters, the irony, and the setting. The characters are similar because in The Gift of the Magi and the Sesame Street video both characters liked…

Jared Cvetich Ms. Reeves-Hampton English 4 16 February 2016 What is Shamanic Drumming? My passion for all things drumming was sparked Christmas Day 2000, when I was a wide-eyed three-year-old boy. The living room was a complete mess with wrapping paper strewn in every direction and a mass of empty cardboard boxes stacked in the corner. There was one gift left sitting under the tree, a rectangular box, roughly the size of a basketball. Little did I know that what was concealed in that…

I would say I had an interesting Christmas Break. It was an extremely boring and exciting at the same time. I would say that the Christmas Break is a balance of how great it was. This is determined on my gifts, what I did, and did something I wouldn’t do in my life. The first reason that made it so interesting is I did something I wouldn’t do in my life. At the beginning I couldn’t wait till Christmas. Then the other part was that I had nothing to do. All I mostly did was sit around doing…

as an ardent non-Christian/Atheist, I’m a big fan of the whole Christmas phenomenon. Staff and students get time off to spend with their friends and family. Many people get the opportunity to travel. And there’s a definite magic associated with being a child (or man-child in my case) opening presents on Christmas morning. It’s been a while since I was forced to attend church, but I think I can cover the gist of the story of Christmas for those who may rusty on their ancient history. Mary and…

In the television special, “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas,” it uses irony to convey its theme. The plot somewhat resembles that of the short story, “The Gift of the Magi,” by O. Henry. This is because both apply irony to express a theme. In “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas,” Emmet and his mother Alice live on the side of the river and are very poor. Christmas is approaching and they have no money to buy the other a present. They both stumble upon the talent show taking place in town. The…

For many people Christmas is an important holiday. By the time it hits September angel decorations start filling the store aisles and “Jingle Bells” plays on repeat but it is not the only one filling up the store. Ghouls, candy, and spiders all crouch on the side waiting for Halloween; a holiday that some look over when it does get to September, although they should not. Halloween is a major holiday that is more exciting than Christmas in terms of history, traditions, and in lower expenses.…

child, teenager, or adult. In the novel Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck and the short story “The Gift of the Magi” written by O’ Henry, hope is used as a theme and plot device driving the story forward. However different, in these stories the theme of hope/achieving goals can and is seen, George and Lennie's hope to have a better life vs. Della and Jim’s hope for a nice Christmas, how they go about to achieve their hopes and the result of their efforts. The difference in circumstances…
