Daniel Goleman's What Makes A Good Leader?

I do believe the brother did have to have some love for Doodle, he gave him his name after all. On page 345 it says, “It was I who renamed him… Crawling backward made him look like a doodlebug so I began to call him Doodle. Renaming my brother was perhaps the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle.” But all in all if this brother truly had a sincere love for Doodle he would never have done the things he did to him or had any of the thoughts I’ve mentioned above. At the least, he wouldn’t have given Doodle such an ignorant

The story of Yankee Doodle is a well known story and has a catchy song to it too. You probably remember it as a kid but in the story “The Scarlet Ibis” one of the characters is named Doodle but the story isn't what you think it is. Doodle had a brother that wanted to teach him how to do thing to become more like a normal person because Doodle had this illness from birth. Brother was a good brother to Doodle for trying to help him become a normal person.

The brother is to blame for doodles death. Doodle was a disabled young child with a selfish brother that only looks out for himself. His brother was ashamed to be with or around him. One of the biggest reasons wanted him dead is because he was embarrassed to be around him. The three reasons I believe that the brother wanted to kill doodle was he was embarrassed, he pushed him to hard, and he was selfish.

“Selfish people tend to only be good to themselves… then are surprised when they are alone”,(unknown).This is how Brother found himself when he abandoned Doodle during a storm. In The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst a child named William Armstrong (Doodle) is born with a medical condition who revokes him the ability to walk. But the selfishness, his Brother has been blinded by makes him want to teach his Brother to walk out of embarrassment “of having a crippled brother.” Therefore Brother is two faced he can be selfish or he can be altruistic to Doodle, which demonstrates how complex brotherly love can be.

In “The Scarlet Ibis” one of the most important characters was the brother of Doodle. He is also the one telling the story. He is really important to the story because in a way he shaped Doodles personality. He took care of Doodle, pushed him to walk and killed doodle. He is very determined, somewhat careless, and selfish.

Doodle and Brother were out practicing to make Doodle more normal. The storm started to come down, so they took off for home. I heard Doodle who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!” (Hurst 6). Good brothers would come back and get their brother if he was screaming. Brother leaving Doodle behind when he was screaming just shows that he wasn’t being nice enough to his brother. Leaving your brother behind is really mean. If he wouldn’t have left Doodle behind maybe the outcome would’ve been different. Brother wouldn’t have gone back and seen Doodle all bloody. Brother caused Doodle

In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, a boy is born crippled and no one thought he would live. The boy lived however, and they named him Doodle. Doodle and his brother were very close and Doodle loved his brother and never wanted his brother to leave him alone. Doodle’s brother was ashamed to have a crippled brother so he attempted to help doodle become normal throughout doodle’s life in the story. Doodle loved his brother, even though his brother was very selfish in his reasons to help Doodle to become normal, and his brother realized how selfish and guilty he was when it was to late for Doodle in the end.

In “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the narrator describes his past experiences with his younger brother Doodle, whom he prevents from being left behind in society. Initially, the narrator does not accept Doodle, who was born physically disabled, as his brother, but gradually, love and pride led him to teach Doodle how to stand, walk, and perform feats that normal people could do; however, it was this same love and pride that eventually twisted into a “knot of cruelty” and killed his brother.

“The Scarlet Ibis”, by James Hurst, demonstrates the motivation and determination that Brother and Doodle have to accomplish their goals. Brother always wants a brother to play with. However, he finds out that Doodle was a cripple, and that crumbles his hope of having a brother physically capable of being a companion. Brother dislikes carrying him around and taking care of him. As a result, Brother’s prideful nature and his shame of Doodle motivates him to teach Doodle how to walk. Both Brother and Doodle begin to be convinced that hard work would allow Doodle to surpass his disabilities and to not give up so easily. Soon, they both begin to discover that Doodle can do much more than just walking, thanks to Brother’s decisions.

Pride can be a positive or negative element in someone's life. It can help them succeed in their efforts or cause them to become greedy and selfish. In the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the main character Brother shows the theme of pride through his persistence and love for Doodle.

Have you ever been so ashamed of who you are associated with, that you push them past their own physical limits for your own good? In the short story, The Scarlet Ibis, by James Hurst makes you think about what is truly from the goodness of the brother character’s heart or if he is just being selfish. Ever since Doodle was born, he had no hope from anyone. Brother was the first one to look past his disabilities and see that he had the potential to be normal. Although Brother has to care for Doodle and teach him how to walk, run, swim, and row, it was only because he was sick of giving all of his personal time to the little disabled boy who could not walk. Brother was making great progress with Doodle until one rainy day when he made the poor, tired boy run home. His heart had been so overworked that it could not take anymore. Doodle had died. The scarlet ibis is a symbol for the narrator's brother, Doodle, because they both are exotic in appearance and place, overworked in life, and similar in color and position in death.

A woeful end to One’s pride. Filled with so much pride and ashamed of a physical limitations, of his brother(Doodle), the unnamed narrator, taught his crippled brother how to walk and wanted him to do things normal kids do.
