RE: Who read The Last Leaf help me please: What does the last leaf symbolize
What does the last leaf symbolize in this story?
How does Johnsy compare herself to the leaf?
In what ways are other characters like the leaf?
The characters are like the leaf because Johnsy compares herself to the leaf, that is alone on the tree and barely hanging on, and two days before Mr. Behrman paints the last leaf as his masterpiece he dies.
