Answer:
- In O. Henry's poignant story in which two young aspiring artists become "congenial" enough to find a studio apartment together in Greenwich Village, Maine-born Sue worries about her Californian friend, Johanna, whom she calls Johnsy. For, Johnsy has contracted pneumonia in the cold November of New York. Having called a doctor to their studio, Sue learns from him that Johnsy has only a slim chance of living because she has lost her will to live. He tells Sue that she must get Johnsy interested in something that will inspire her to get well.
Explanation:
Answer:
Johnsy had an attack of pneumonia. She had lost all interest in life. An ivy creeper was growing against the wall of a neighbouring house. It was autumn and the leaves of the creeper were falling. Johnsy linked the falling of leaves to her life. She thought that with the falling of each leaf, she was nearing her death. Sue told her that there could be no relationship between falling leaves and her life.
But, at the same time, Sue did not argue with Johnsy and did not contradict her belief. It shows the maturity and understanding of human nature. It was her maturity and willingness to help her friend in her bad time. She convinced Behrman to help her. She left no stone unturned in saving Johnsy’s life. A good friend should always be like Sue who is mature, sincere and understanding.
