In the story, the writer uses different words to express similar meanings. Read the story and write them down. Then work in pairs and use each word to describe a scene.
Task 7
In November, Mr Pneumonia placed his icy finger on me; and I lay, barely moving, in my bed. I stared out the window and counted leaves on the ivy vine. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now there were only five. When the last one fell, I must go. Sue said she never heard of such nonsense.
Tell the story from Johnsy’s or Sue’s point of view.
Homework
The next morning, I woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. The following day, the leaf was still there! Then I thought I had been a bad girl and it was a crime to want to die. In the afternoon, the doctor visited and said “With good nursing, you’ll win. And now I must see a fellow downstairs, Behrman. Pneumonia, too. There is no hope for him.”
Tell the story from Johnsy’s or Sue’s point of view.
Homework
The next day, Sue told me that Mr Behrman died. The janitor found him lying in bed helplessly with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. The last ivy leaf on the wall was Behrman’s masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.
