Doodles brother was embarrassed to have a not all there brother. It was very clear at the beginning of the book that the brother wanted doodle dead. His brother never wanted to be around him because he was scared to be made fun of. He wanted doodle to run and swim and play like all the other children

Doodles brothers pride brings many positive changes into Doodles life but in the same way it causes Doodles death.Bringing with it a lifetime of guilt and conscious. Ultimately this a story of a very confusing and complex relationship between Brother's.This story lead us to believe that Doodle's brother loved and hated

Throughout the world, more than eighty five percent of people have or are affected by low self esteem. In the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, it clearly shows the theme that others should not influence all of one’s thoughts and actions. Doodle is a child born with disabilities and his brother, the narrator, supports him and helps him find a place to fit into society and to achieve self-esteem throughout the story. Self-esteem is found negatively and positively in both the narrator and Doodle.

"Doodle!" I screamed above the pounding storm and threw my body to the earth above his. For a long time, it seemed forever, I lay there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain”(Hurst 6).This section shows from the end of Doodle’s life onward Brother has felt guilty. The whole story is Brothers story of the dangers of pride and his personal experience.

"Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!" (p.425) This quote from "The Scarlet Ibis" wrote by James Hurst says a lot about Doodle and his brothers fillings towards him. Doodle and his brother have a close relationship throughout the story. The bleeding tree that stood just outside of the kitchen window now where a grindstone stands, now it's like if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves, a silvery dust. (p.416) The bleeding tree and doodle are alike because the bleeding tree is not there anymore, but the memories about it still are just like Doodle because the memories that him and his brother have will never be forgotten. Doodle and his brother have a close

Pushing to extremes can be extremely dangerous when talking about something. There is a line between pushing to the limits and pushing beyond the limits. Pushing beyond the limits can create danger with something that someone maybe might not be capable of. In the story Scarlet Ibis Brother pushes his brother Doodle beyond the limits. Brother pushing Doodle beyond the limits created great danger throughout the story. Brother was at fault for Doodle’s death for pushing him too hard.

Brother had pride in Doodle, considering his brother as "his"; he always persisted in working tirelessly with him on his successes. "Brother put lots of his time, effort, and care into Doodle even though "It's a miracle [he] didn't give up" (Hurst). His efforts showed the pride he had, or at least wanted to have in his younger sibling; even if it was rooted in selfishness. Pride is what motivated Brother to help him, though he wished it was his family which gave him the grit to always push Doodle to success. Brother

Do you ever feel like you are out of place? Do people behave differently towards you? In James Hurst’s short story, “The Scarlet Ibis,” a character by the name of Doodle is disabled at a young age. This results in his elder brother, also the narrator, to behave with conflicting personalities toward Doodle. In his short story “The Scarlet Ibis,” James Hurst uses Doodle’s brother in order to show how he is both cruel and kind towards his younger brother Doodle.

In the story “The Scarlet Ibis” Doodle and the bird are the best representations of each other. One of the examples to show this is “He lay very awkwardly, with his head thrown far back, making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim” (Hurst 139). This exact quote from the story describes how they are alike because when they were both dead they had long and slim necks. The bird was also lying in an awkward position with its legs crossed and its “ clawlike feet were delicately curved at rest.” (Hurst 136). The second reason for my statement is, "’It lives in the tropics-South America to Florida. A storm must have brought it here.’" (Hurst 137). Although this quote doesn’t exactly come out and say the relationship between Doodle and the scarlet ibis, it has to be interpreted. My interpretation of this is that the bird came a long way, all the way from South America or Florida.

“The Scarlet Ibis,” written by James Hurst, is a bittersweet story. A weak autistic child is born into a family of cotton farmers. They name the child Doodle, which was given by his older brother. His brother was often cruel, but he pushed Doodle to work to fit in. They fail in their efforts at the end of summer. The older brother gets mad, and Doodle dies. Doodle is overall a favorite character for people because he’s just an incredible character everyone could love.

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

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.

Him as a brother” (paragraph 7, page 2) and “ man up it's just a dead bird” (paragraph 5, page 6)

From doodles birth his brother never liked him or cared about him and wanted him gone. One example is “i began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.” (page 2 paragraph 2). The fact that he plotted to murder him just because of his disabilities was mind blowing and very sad. Another reason is “that streak of cruelty within me awakened.”( page 11 paragraph 4). Brothers cruelty came back to him and he left his brother back in the storm to die instead of helping him. The last example is “I took him by the arms and stood him up. He collapsed on to the grass like a half empty flour sack. It was as if he had no bones in his

“I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death.” This was a quote from the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, he was emphasizing how the narrator thought about his pride. The theme of the story was Do not let pride overrule love, the narrator really expresses this throughout the story with a lot details. Throughout the story this lesson continues to grow by using characterization, foreshadowing, and imagery.
