The setting is a foggy London street near Scrooge's office on a Christmas Eve in the 1840s. Dickens' word choices create lasting mental pictures and affect the reader's experience.

The document discusses the significance of the title of the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. It explains that the title refers to the Three Wise Men who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to baby Jesus.

Therefore, while the title alludes to the original Magi, it refers specifically to Jim and Della because their acts of sacrifice to show their love for one another demonstrate true wisdom.

The poem nostalgically recalls life in the 1950s and 1960s in America, before modern technology and pop culture. It describes a simpler time when Ike Eisenhower was president, people listened to Buddy Holly and watched shows like Gunsmoke. Youth seemed eternal, Elvis was popular, and people got married young. Technology was basic - people had bottles of Coke, dresses came to the knee, and rocket ships were fiction. The poem looks back fondly at this earlier era that helped shape the author's identity.
