Everyday, we encounter different struggles that God has given us to learn something new from it. And sometimes we don't notice that the people who helps or helped us are just strangers. Even if they know that something bad will happen to them if they'll help you. "Don't lose hope", the best advice an individual will tell you. Just keep on "hoping" and "praying" and everything will be alright.

Sometimes it is not so much the message that a story gives but the message that the reader takes. Review the plot and the characters: the starving artist and the art that he would not, could not, cultivate until he saw the plight of a young woman; his sacrifice to "preserve" that last leaf; the ailing woman's premonition that she would die when the last leaf was gone; her survival by means of an imitation of life...and so on. The story might remind some people of an existential spirit; others might see a biblical theme. What would such a story say to you? Or, from another viewpoint, what messages would you take from that story? Your reply might be, "None. Stories are for entertainment. The Last Leaf is an interesting story with a pleasant twist, but aside from the enjoyment of a clever tale, I see no message at all. " That would be OK. [If a teacher -- or your conscience -- demands a message, then we have another set of rules, which, with a little imagination, you can follow. ;-)]
