“欧·亨利式结尾”通常指是在文章情节结尾时,突然让人物心理情境发生出乎意料改变,或使主人公命运陡然逆转,出现意想不到结果,但又在情理之中,符合生活实际,含有独特艺术魅力。这种结尾艺术,在欧·亨利式作品中有充分表达。18/79Thetwistinthestory:O.Henryisfamousforsurpriseendingsor“twists”inhisstories.Thenwhatisthetwistinthisstory—TheLastLeaf?Johnsyseemstobedyingofpneumoniawhenthestorybegins,butitisMr.Behrmanwhodiesintheend,whileJohnsysurvives.19/79The“threads”ofthestory:Theauthorrepeatedlyusescluestohelpweaveapieceofnarrationtogether.Asindicatedbyitstitle,thestoryisbuiltaroundthelastivyleaf.Inotherwords,thelastivyleafisthemainthreadthatrunsthroughthewholestory.Besidesthemainthreadof“thelastleaf”,however,therearesomeother“threads”.Whatarethey?20/79The“threads”ofthestory:ThelastivyleafThedoctor’sthreevisits;ThecontrastinJohnsy’srefusalanddesiretodrinksomesoup;Johnsy’swishtopainttheBayofNaples;Behrman’swishtopaintamasterpiece;Pneumonia…21/79Thestoryis,asindicatedbyitstitle,builtaroundthelastivyleaf.Inotherwords,thelastivyleafisthemainthreadthatrunsthroughthewholestory.Completethefollowingsentences,andthenyouwillgetaclearideaofthispoint.1.Atfirst,Johnsywasdeterminedto___whenthelastivyleaffall.2.Whenshesawthelastleafstillclingtothevineaftertwonights’rainandwind,shedecidednotto________herlife.3.Thecoldfiercewinddidnotblowawaythe“lastleaf”becauseBehrman,akindneighbor,riskedhis____to_____thelastleaf.4.Attheendofthestory,SuecalledthepaintedleafBehrman’smasterpiecebecause__________________________________________________.Thread1:thelastleafdiegiveuplifepaintitwassoperfectthatthegirlsbothmistookitfortherealthing22/79Thedoctor’sthreevisitsareanother"thread"thathelpsmakethestoryacoherentpiece.Scanthestoryandunderlinethesentencesthatindicatethispoint.1.Johnsywasseriouslyill.(lines11-23)2.Johnsyhada50-50chanceforsurvivalanddeathwhileoldBehrmanwasincurablysick.(lines106-114)3.Johnsywassuretorecover.(lines115-116)Thread2:thedoctor’sthreevisits23/79Soupisanother"thread"thathelpsmakethestoryacoherentpiece.Scanthestoryandunderlinethesentencesthatindicatethispoint.1.Johnsyrefusedtotakeanysoupwhenshedecidedtodiewiththefallofthelastleaf.(lines44-47)2.Whenshewasshakenaliveagainbythatundyinglastleaf,oneofherfirstdesireswastodrinksomesoup.(line101)Thread3:soup24/79Masterpieceisanother"thread"thathelpsmakethestoryacoherentpiece.Scanthestoryandunderlinethesentencesthatindicatethispoint.1.OldBehrmanwasafailureinart.Hehadalwaystalkedaboutamasterpiece,yethewasunabletodeliverit.(lines56-58)2.“SomedayIwillpaintamasterpiece,andweshallallgoaway.”(lines73-74)3.Finally,oldBehrmanpaintedhismasterpieceatthecostofhislife.(lines119-128)Thread4:masterpiece25/79ThemeThethemeofthestoryrevealedtousthatthecourageisfoundwithinitself,thelifedependsonitselfnotothers.Apersoncaneasilychoosebetweenlifeanddeath,butifyourealizethatlifecannotbeeasilygivenup,nothingisimpossibletoachieve.26/79Retellthestory:TheLastLeaf27/7928/7929/7930/7931/7932/7933/79ThesettingwasinalittledistrictwestofWashingtonSquareintheeighteenth-century.ThemaincharacterJohnsyshowedaninternalpressurebecauseshehadadiseasecalledpneumoniathatmanypeoplegotinfectedanddiedfromit.Shegaveupthehopeofsurvivingherlife,thefriendshipandthecourageoffacingit.OthercharactersincludeSue,Johnsy'sfriendwhotriedtogiveherhopeandloveforhertofightthedisease.34/79Johnsywascountingtheleavesontheoutsidewindowonawall,sayingthatafterahundredleavesfall,shewillgotooasthelastleaffalls.Eachday,Johnsywouldgetupandlookoutofthewindowtoseeifthelastleafhadfallen,butitneverdid.So,Johnsydecidedthatshewouldputmorehopeinsurvivingthedisease,andeataregulardailynutritiontomaintainahealthybody.Then,thedoctorcametotellSuethatgoodnursingwillwinthechanceofJohnsyinsurvivingthedisease.35/79TextOrganization(1)Thestoryrevolvesaroundthelastivyleaf.Inotherwords,thelastleaf,beingthetitleofthestory,servesasthemainthreadthatrunsthroughthewholepassage.Ifyouareawareofthis,youwillfinditeasiertounderstandtheorganizationofthetext.Thefollowingquestionsareintendedtohelpyougetaclearideaofthispoint.36/79TextOrganization(2)Apieceofnarrationusuallyconsistsofanumberofscenes.Ineachscenetherearedifferentcharacterswhointeractwitheachother.Andnormallyachangeofcharactersindicatesachangeinscene.Nowpleasescanthetextandtrytodividethetextintoscenesaccordingtothechangesincharacter.37/79TextOrganization(2)ScenesParagraphsCharactersEvents1Paras1-2Sue,JohnsySue’sroommateJohnsycaughtpneumonia2Paras3Paras4ParasThedoctor,SueJohnsy,SueBehrman,SueThedoctortoldSuethatJohnsyneededastrongwilltoliveon.Johnsydecidedthatshewoulddiewhenthelastivyleaffell.SuetoldBehrmanaboutJohnsy’sfancy.3-89-1718-2138/79TextOrganization(2)ScenesParagraphsCharactersEvents5Paras6Paras7ParasSue,JohnsyThedoctor,SueSue,JohnsyAsJohnsywasencouragedbythelastleafthatwouldn’tgiveintotheweather,herwilltolivereturned.ThedoctortoldSuethatJohnsywouldrecover,butBehrmancaughtpneumoniahimselfandhiscasewashopeless.SuetoldJohnsythatBehrmanhadperformedakinddeedwithoutanythoughtofself.22-3334-3738-3939/79ScenesCharactersParagraphEvents1Paras1-2Johnsycaughtpneumonia.2Paras3-8ThedoctortoldSuethatJohnsyneededastrongwilltoliveon.3Paras9-
