This essay is about the short story "The Gift of Magi" by O. Henry. I was stupid and waited until the last minute because I had no idea where to start. Now it's due tomorrow (actually today because it's midnight) and I still have no idea where to start. My assignment says to do this:

Discuss the effects of Jim and Della’s love in O. Henry’s “The Gift of the
Magi”. What are the effects on both Jim and Della?

It is only a draft so I'm not super worried about it but I also have a pre-writing assignment where I write the cause (Jim and Della [the main characters]'s love for each other and then 3 effects with effects and (if needed) causes to support those effects. So an example would be like this:

Jim and Della's love for each other (topic) (cause)

Jim's love for Della caused him to sell his most prized possession to buy Della a gift. (effect)
This saddened Della because she could not use the gift he bought for her. (effect)

Yeah so I'm very stuck so if you help me out I'll give a best answer thanks so much!
