In the story, "Gift of the Magi", Della sacrificed her hair to buy her husband a platinum fob chain for his watch as her Christmas gift to him. Unknown to her, James sold off his watch to buy her a set of combs she has been lusting upon for so long.

Both items were of great value to each of them but they each sacrificed it to buy gifts that they believe will give happiness to each other and to show how much they love one another.

Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued because it is one way of expressing deep love to your loved ones. You would rather suffer a bit of self-disappointment to make your love ones happy.

Answer:

The chosen speech was "Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort."

Explanation:

The chosen speech was "Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort," due to the historical and technological importance that this speech has for the country.

In this speech, President John F. Kennedy reinforces the importance of Americans in supporting the United States' space program program and shows the government's ambition to do an unprecedented and extremely daring act: to make man step on the moon.

We know that this event was extremely important for our history, showing how the human being is capable of great achievements through an intense study. In addition, it showed how scientific advancement in a country depends directly on the support of the population and government investment, that is, the speech shows how the government, citizens and researchers must be united in the same objective, so that the country can achieve objectives increasingly daring.
