Detailed explanation-1: -After the doctor visits with Johnsy in ‘’The Last Leaf”, what course of treatment does he suggest? He recommends strict bed-rest.
Detailed explanation-2: -The doctor said “Johnsy, it seems, has made up her mind that she is not going to get well. If she doesn’t want to live, medicines will not help her.” Sue tried her best to make Johnsy take an interest in things around her. She talked about clothes and fashions, but Johnsy did not respond.
Detailed explanation-3: -She would sit beside Johnsy’s bed and paint so that she could earn for herself and Johnsy. She comforted Johnsy and dealt with her cranky behaviour very patiently. With her cheerful disposition and optimism, she tried her best to reassure Johnsy that the old ivy leaves had nothing to do with her illness.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following would the doctor most likely agree with? A patient must believe they will get better, and this will help his or her chance of recovery. Why does Johnsy count the leaves? She compares herself to the falling leaves; she believes that when she counts none left, she will die.
Detailed explanation-5: -The moral of the story “ The Last Leaf” is that we should never lose hope in life. Sometimes we see bad aspects of life but she should not lose hope as there are always good days after bad days.
