Name: Liacer Muldez Manto 11-Onesta The Last Leaf The short story that I read was entitled “The Last Leaf” by O. Henry (1862-1910). The story was beautiful and I love it, the story shows how Sue loved her friend Johnsy that she could do everything for her friend (Johnsy) even though Johnsy was already loses her hope to live in this world. It seems so weird that Johnsy was waiting for the last leaf to fall and she will go also, but in the case of Johnsy it was not weird for she is depending her life to that leaf and may be that ivy vine is giving her happiness. There are times that other people finds us weird because of what we do or because of the things that can make us happy, but they do not know the real reason why it makes us happy or contented they will never knew for each one of us has his/her own unique personality. That is what I saw in Johnsy’s situation, I know that she will be upset if that leaf will gone for it was her last hope. In this story, also we can see...

ReplyDeleteThe last leaf by O. Henry was a very inspiring story. After I readthe story, I realized that there is really a person in our lives that sacrifices for us. But some times we ignore them, we take them for granted. Sacrificing for others makes us feel that we really love the person. Behrman is a really good person because he really sacrificed, just to change the mindset of Johnsy. He painted a leaf so that Johnsy would have a will to live since Johnsy depend her life with the leaf. I am inspired with this story, it shows that sacrificing is really important when you love a person.
When you love a person, you will do everything and sacrifice everything just to make that person feel better. When Behrman said that he still did not have his masterpiece, I know that everyone of us has own masterpiece, sometimes we still have not discovered it yet. The love that Behrman chows to sue is really powerful, It may be indirect showing of love but it is powerful for other it is just a small effort but it has a very deep meaning.We should also learn how to value things big or small we still gave effort. We should motivate others to hold on and value things. Even though Behrman died, he left something that is worth valuing. I’m mixed emotions with this story. Thus, reading this short story I realized that sacrificing is really important even if it is hard so that i can show my love. I also learned that we should value all we have, others don’t have what we have and still they chose
to be contented. We should be thankful for the blessings we received and we should be thankful because we have what we need.
