Which type of conflict does della face in o. henry’s “the gift of the magi”?

I studied this story a little while back. The conflict that Della faces is the decisions she has to make to get a gift for her poor husband. In the story, it explains that her hair was the longest and most cared for in all of the lands, that even the queen would look poorer than her. She has to make the decision to sell her hair to get a chain for her husband's pocket watch.

I hope this helps
  

Explanation:

The simile is "like eating a bowl of letter soup." A simile is a type of speech, a sentence that uses LIKE or AS. We clearly see, "like," comparing reading to eating a bowl of letter soup.
