Plot:
Conflict:
Sue’s roommate, Johnsy, was sick in the hospital. She was diagnosed with Pneumonia.
Climax:
The doctor told Sue that Johnsy had a one out of ten chance for living, but Sue remained hopeful. Johnsy was determined that she would die when the last leaf of the ivy vine fell. Sue kept on encouraging her, telling her that all she spoke of was nonsense, and that she should just pray for her health to regain. The wind blew hard, and the rain poured, but the last leaf still remained, dangling bravely on the thin, wet branch. Meanwhile, Mr. Behrman, an old painter, poses for Sue’s new sketch. He always talked about his newest masterpiece, but he never manages to finish them all the way.
Conclusion:
In the end, Johnsy realized that it was wrong for her to fantasize about her death, and that she should be more hopeful. In a few days, she got well. The doctor said she now only needed rest and nutrition, and she’ll be back to normal in no time. But, what took Johnsy’s place, was Mr. Behrman, who died because of Pneumonia. But a few nights before, he finished a painting of the last ivy leaf before it fell. Afterwards, he was diagnosed with Pneumonia, and two days later, he died.
