Question

In the story Last leaf who is known as white mouse and why?

Answer 1

The term "white mouse" has two parts, "white" and "mouse." Sue is visually oriented because she is an artist. She sees Johnsy as a white mouse for two reasons, both of which can be identified in O. Henry's text.

“Tell me as soon as you have finished,” said Johnsy, closing her eyes, and lying white and still as a fallen statue...

Johnsy is as white as a marble statue because she is so sick.
