ESSAY: Write a brief summary of O. Henry's "The Last Leaf" |
Sue and Johnsy were young painters who lived together. Johnsy had pneumonia, and the doctor told Sue that the patient had little chance of making it unless Sue could intrest her in living. Sue was drawing a picture and noticed that Johnsy was keeping track of the leaves that fell off the ivy vine, that she could see outside of her window. Johnsy was convinced that she was going to die when the last leaf fell off. Sue went to ask an old artist, named Behrman to pose for her drawing and she told him about Johnsy's fancy. Behrman was upset about Johnsy, but agreed to pose. When they reached the apartment, Johnsy was sleepingso Sue pulled the shade down. The next morning Johnsy realized realized she had been silly and decided she wanted to live. Sue later learned that Behrman had painted the leaf on the vine. He caught pneumonia painting it, cause it was cold and wet, and died. |
