When a dying lady was looking out the ivy vine
1
through the
window, whose leaves were falling , she desperately thought
“
if
the last falls,
I must go
”

.
The old
painter sacrificed his life to
paint
a
green
ivy
leaf
onto
the
brick
wall
,when
the
real
last
fell .One died and one lived. No one could deny that piece of ivy
leaf saved everything about love
，
nobility and greatness. The old
man was just Behrman in
’
s novel
The Last Leaf.

In

’
s
eyes,

Behrman
was
a
failure
in
art
3
,
but
we
might say he was a success in humanity. Actually he ever set his
mind to accomplish a surprising masterpiece and
even prepared
to be proud of it; Well , his masterpiece did not appear until the
death
approached
.Otherwise,
he
lived
by
being
a
model
for
some poor painters like him and drunk all day along. That
’
s the
first
impression
which
Behrman
gave
us
at
the
middle
part
of
the novel.
As a matter of fact, Behrman represented a small shadow of
American
West
people
that
seek
fortune
in
19
th

century . was also born in a doctor family, which made
him informed of the difficulties the poor had met. And we could
discover
many
familiar
roles
in
his
novels,
like
Soapy
in

The
cop and the Anthem
, John Adair in
A Municipal Report

Jim
and
Della
in
The
Gift
of
the
Magi.

As
a

loyal
reader
to
,I guess these characters appearing in his novels might
be
someone he
knew or
heard,
might be
his friends or himself.

At least these roles reflected
’
s real voice into his mind.
For
some
reasons,

had
been
in
prison
for
3
years
during
which
he
made
his
famous
novel
The
cop
and
the
Anthem.


To
some
extent
,
Soapy
’
s
painfulness
was

’
s .When
he
offered
to
get
in
the
jail,
it
was
refused;
When he washed his brain
and decide to live a common life
he
wanted,
he
was
caught
with
no
reason.
This
ridiculous
result
conveyed a great joke of American society.
Now back to the old
painter Behrman,
did
not tell
how he helped Johnsy, how he painted his masterpiece and why
he
chose
to
do
it
and
readers
knew
it
from
the
conversation
between Sue and Johnsy as follows:

Sue said.
Behrman
died
of
pneumonia
to-day
in
the
hospital.
He
was
ill
only
two
days.
The
janitor
found
him
the
morning
of
the
first
day
in
his
room
downstairs
helpless
with
pain.
His
shoes
and
clothing
were wet through and icy
cold.
They
couldn't imagine
where
he
had
been
on
such
a
dreadful
night.
