My Expectations

I started reading The Last Leaf with great expectations, because I have  read O'Henry before and all of his stories are real masterpieces. So, by the time I ended this short story, I realised that it is also a wonderful one. 

It was difficult to predict what the story would be about, as the title is thought provoking. However, I had some ideas that it would be connected with a despair or hope. And as it turned out  it demonstrates the power of hope and belief.

The Last Leaf is an impeccable story. The author not only shows simplicity but grace through the plot. The characters are briefly described but play majors roles in this book. I fell in love with the plot. Henry writes a tale of romance and sickness through a leaf, the last leaf remaining on a tree outside the main characters house. I truly recommend if you like emotional, simple and sweet stories.
