GinnyAnswer
In the beginning of "The Gift of the Magi," Della is crying because she realizes that she only has [tex]$1.87 to buy a Christmas gift for Jim, her husband. This makes her upset because she wants to give him a special present but is limited by her financial situation. Her tears are a reflection of her love for Jim and her frustration at not being able to afford a meaningful gift for him. Della's emotional reaction is not due to resentment about being poor or anger towards Jim for making her sell her hair. Instead, it stems from her desire to express her love through a gift and her disappointment at not having enough money to do so. Therefore, the correct answer is: - She has only about $[/tex]10 to her name and resents being so poor.
