I will give set of strips of

and post it on the board. Vine vs. Johnsy

Similarities

Differences:

Vine
It is dead at the roots and with leaves that
fall whenever the rain pours and wind
blows.

It is easily affected physically by external

factors such as the coldness of temperature
and weather.

It usually withers during winter due to

extreme coldness

It is incapable of adjusting itself to climate.

Its survival depends upon the

season/weather.

Jhonsy
She is young beautiful artist full of dreams
but is physically weak due to illness

Her disposition is affected by the vine's

falling leaves

She associated her possible death to the

death of the tree which is manifested by
the last leaf to fall.
 She recovered from illness when she
thought that the last leaf which she
expected to fall remained hanging despite
the heavy rain and wind.

She has the capability to adjust to the

external environment.

She has greater chance to survive varied

challenges.

Similarities:
The vine and Johnsy are both vulnerable.

They are easily affected by the winter’s

extreme coldness which caused the death
of the former and the illness of the latter.

F. Analysis

characters in the story?

Behrman, and the doctor.

illness and the cause of
it?
Jonhsy’s illness is pneumonia. There is an
outbreak of pneumonia in the city. Johnsy
catches the illness.

just wait for her death.
Describe the role of Sue
in the story and the type
of friend she is.
Sue is a good friend and roommate of
Johnsy who takes care of her. She encourages
Johnsy not to give up and fight for her
recovery.
How did Johnsy
relate her illness to the
falling of leaves? She depends her life on it. When the last leaf
of that vine falls, she also wants go.
How did Johnsy
recover from her illness? Johnsy recovers from her illness through the
sacrifice of Mr. Behrman. When she still sees the
last leaf hanging on the vine after a stormy
night, she realizes she should not lose hope.
She is determined to get better. She finds out
that the leaf she sees is not real but the
masterpiece of Mr. Behrman.
 If you were old Mr.
Behrman, will you
sacrifice your life to save
another? Why or why Yes, I already lived most of my life and
