The setting of the story impacts the theme because Della and Jim live in a poor community and have to make sacrifices out of love for each other, which shows their selfless character. This makes the reader feel warmth and love because of how loving Della and Jim are toward one another. The setting of the story is in a poor area in New York City in the 1900’s around Christmas time, so Della wants to get Jim a nice gift for Christmas but she doesn’t have enough money. This creates an upsetting but somehow warming tone, creating the mood of sorrow that the reader feels for Della and Jim. This also creates a person verses society conflict because Della and Jim live in a poor society.
This paper will be on comparing and contrasting the similar and different characteristics of the short stories Paper pills by Sherwood Anderson written in 1919, and Stockings written by Tim O’Brien in 1990. Paper Pills is about a man named doctor reefy, who marries a beautiful young women and likes to write down little notes of truth and make his own little pyramids of truth, just so he is able to tear them down. Also, twisted apples play a big role in Paper pills which you will find out later in the paper.

“And here is your lanyard, I replied, which I made with a little help from a counselor (29-30.) In this line, we grasp how the narrator feels confident that the lanyard he braided would give his mother the passionate satisfaction that she once gave him. One of the key phrases in this line that demonstrates self- confidence in the narrator is “with a little help from a counselor”. With that help he received, he feels that the lanyard is something huge that can recompense his mother. The other tone that is seen throughout this poem is the mother’s responses.
It was Christmas Eve. Hearing his clerk wish his nephew a merry Christmas Scrooge said “my clerk, with fifteen shillings a week, and a wife and family, talking about a merry Christmas”. Dickens is trying to express how Scrooge could not see what all the fuss was about; his clerk was paid very badly and even though he did not have much was willing to spend money on one day. Also how Cratchit was looking forward to spending time with his family. Dickens also writes how Scrooge treated his Nephew Fred, badly, his nephew and only living relative is a very cheerful man who loves Christmas.
He is certainly not a sheep that blindly follows everyone else. If he sees a problem or something he dislikes, he is not afraid to go against the grain. For example, he is displeased that the townspeople are told to give money to the church to help fix it and yet he sees golden candlesticks in the church. John would rather pray in the comfort of his own home than to go to the church where they beg for money but use it not on necessities, but on expensive things. It is clear that John does not like what the church has become which is why he refuses to baptize his third son.
How many eight year olds do we know that would think about financial problems and selflessly not say if or when they are in pain? Yet in Gaines’ the Sky is Gray James is such a character who was willing to keep quiet about his toothache in order to save money because he knew to take care of it cannot be afforded as can be seen in, “’cause I know we didn’t have enough money to go have it pulled”(Memory of Kin 167). He shows his maturity when he also says that he cannot ever cry or be scared because he is supposed to “set a good sample for the rest” (Memory of Kin 167). This again illustrates that the lack
Both Della and Jim demonstrate their unfathomed devotion in the quest of bringing each other a fitting gift for Christmas, something rare and cherished, both willing to go to the extreme in an unselfish act of love. Della had saved a whopping one dollar and eighty-seven cents over the previous months and was beside her that she would have no present worthy enough for her husband. Both were poorly dressed for the period and weather, with Jim needing a new overcoat and Della having an old brown coat
When Miss Watson, a widow who was willing to take care of him, encouraged him to pray for what he wanted, where she meant by blessing, love etc., Huck questioned about prayers and couldn’t understand how prayers work to give him what he would like (Twain, 39). No matter how Jim was thought to be the lowest classman, readers can easily catch the fact that niggers were more willing to obey to instructions than the Huckleberry Finn and the white children, which was different from how people in the past
