what did johnsy see through the twilight?
Answers
Answer:
Sue wakes the next morning, having only slept an hour. Johnsy is awake too, and staring at the lowered window shade. In a whisper, Johnsy orders Sue to raise the shade. Sue is reluctant, but she obeys.
They are shocked to see that, in spite of the night’s beating rain and fierce gusts, a single leaf stands out against the brick wall. It is the last on the vine. Dark green near its stem, the leaf’s serrated edges are tinted yellow with decay.
Johnsy says she thought it would have surely fallen during the night; but she thinks it will have to fall today, and then she’ll die. Sue implores her to think of their friendship as a reason to live, but Johnsy doesn’t reply. The narrator comments that a soul ready to die is the most lonesome thing in the world; the more Johnsy fixates on the certainty of her death, the looser her bonds to people and the earth become.
