Question

How has oh henry featured friendship in the story the last leaf?

Answer 1

we get the sense throughout the story that Sue is the more mature or adult of the two women; that she acts as something of a caregiver to Johnsy. For example, Sue feels distraught after her conversation with the doctor, but conceals it from Johnsy:

''After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried a Japanese napkin to a pulp. Then she swaggered into Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling ragtime.''
