The book I chose to read is called "Short Stories by O.Henry".The reason why I chose it is the auther who is well-known in America in the 20th centry.He is good at short stories creativing.His compositions almost portray the New York life.In his stories,you can know the townpeople's aspirations in the monetary society. One of the story in the book calls "The Last Leaf".The story's outline as folows: In Washington Square,there was full of art breath.Sue and Johnsy met at there and they had the same tastes in art.So they became partners and founded their own studio.But in the town,an illness which called "Pneumouia" stalked.Many people were infected from it and included Johnsy.Johnsy was very pessimistic.Outside of her studio,there was an old ivy vine which just remained a few leaves.She said when the leaves all fall down,she would die whit it.Sue was very worry and needed some helps from Behrman who was an arttist in the town.And Behrman's creation spurred Johasy.Finally,Johnsy's illness recovered. From the story,I learned some apocalypses.We should active and optimistic to face our lives.The life is always so beautiful that we can't give up it rashly.
