At Arms with Morpheus

I read "At Arms with Morpheus" by O'Henry today.
I liked the humor which the story includes.
The humor is "funniness of a very sincere man".
Tom, who accidently hasvtaken morfine, is supposed to be funny and foolish
because he is too much honest. He believe all nonsense talk of his friend and try to warn himself.
But I think such a man is pretty cool even though he is scrupulously honest.

Here is one part from the story that describes Tom's character.

"He was good nature itself, and a gallant gentlman, fine and true and clean as sunlight.
He came from somewhere down South, where they still have ideals and a code. New York had charmed, but had not spoiled, him."

People might say this kind of person is tacky or out-of-date.
But I believe O'Henry liked a man such as Tom Hopkins and wanted more men respect Tom
hopeing not to lose faithful men in the US.

The Gift of The Magi

I read "The Gift Of The Magi" , written by O' Henry and listened to the audio on the Youtube.
I actually really liked the story. I thought this story would end with sad ending losing their most precious things, Dllea's hair and Jim's watch. I was especially nervous when Jim finds Della losing her hair having an peculiar expression on his face and when Della gets the set of combs. I was scared that they might regret what they have done terribly. It seems that their presents have no meanings and no value now.
But their love to each other was much stronger. They become happy enough with their feelings that they really wanted give something nice to each other and at least they both did their best to buy the present.
I believe even though they become rich someday in the future and be able to give each other expensive gifts, they are happy not because the value of the gift itself but rather, the fact that they are caring, and loving each other.It is really beautiful to figure out what you can do for someone you loves.                                                                                        ,
