Stylistic Features of The Last Leaf
Abstract
This essay displays several writing techniques that O’Henry used in his The Last Leaf to enhance the theme, to make the story touching, and the characters lifelike. With these special stylistic features, the two threads run through the whole story—love and hope, by which Johnsy resumed her desire to live.
