charactor sketch of sue in last leaf
Answers
Sue and Johnsy are bosom friends who were closely connected with each other since they share an
equal amount of interest in food,art, and the Bohemian life out there in the old Greenwich village
even though they hail from distinctly different places. They lived together at the top of the old three
storied building. Sue is the female lead who weaves much of the action in the otherwise stuck
narrative.Johnsy was visited by the cold unseen stranger called pneumonia and is down mentally as
well as physically. It is Sue who is very kind,loyal,sensitive, considerate,affectionate and motherly
who takes the initiative to protect and save her dear friend.. Johnsy is much of a repressed type who
is very insecure and depressed.she had no hope left in her that she would remain alive.she is
emotionally dependent on Sue. The motherly Sue provides her reassurances, timely advice,
medication and her valuable presence to bring back her lost confidence. Sue is very thoughtful of
Johnsy and hence runs pillars to post to keep her physically stable.she has no fear of dreadful
diseases and is determined to stay with her.She even stops whistling thinking that it would disrupt
her friend's sleep.she insists Johnsy to close the window so that she could stop looking at the dismal
leaves frantically falling down one after another. Sue is an understanding companion because she
shares Johnsy's dream with the doctor that she really longed to draw the picture of bay of
Naples Sue is selfless she came in search of good prospects.but wasn't ready to leave her friend at
times of difficulties. She stood with her friend to fight the stranger. She taught her skills to fight her
very self that was hellbent on taking her own life.its because of nutrition and care that Johnsy
survived, reports the physician. It was the extra ordinary will power and presence of mind of Sue
that helped Johnsy to come back to life
Sue was an artist who had come to New York to earn her living. She met Johnsy at a restaurant and both became good friends. They shared the same apartment.
Sue was a loyal friend. She was devoted to Johnsy. She wanted her to recover. It pained her heart to see Johnsy in such a bad condition. The doctor had said that she had only one in ten chance to survive and that chance was Johnsy's wish to live. After the doctor left, Sue cried a lot. She was very sad but she didn't show it to her friend. She always said words of hope and reassurance in front of her. Never once did she say a negative word to her. She was very kind and considerate. She wanted Johnsy to come out of her ill-health. She nursed her like her own sister. When she noticed the frustration in Johnsy, she went to Mr. Behrman and asked for his help.
She was very happy when he painted a leaf hanging on the vine. It worked wonders and was a ray of hope for Johnsy who recovered after few days. The whole credit goes to Sue who was firmly determined to help Johnsy come out of the jaws of death.
