The Tale of the Three Brothers may seem like a fairytale, but there is a deeper, darker meaning. The Tale of the Three Brothers illustrates three brothers on a journey, and on this expedition, they come across a river which no one has been able to cross. To Death’s irritation, the three brothers are wizards, so they use their magic to build a bridge. Death pretends to congratulate them and grants each brother a wish. The first brother wished for the most powerful wand and the second brother, desiring to antagonize Death, wished for a stone to bring back the dead. In a short amount of time, Death found the two foolish brothers and took them both. The third brother wished for a cloak that would protect him from Death. Death couldn’t find the third brother until he willingly took the cloak off. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it was rumored that if one has all three of the Deathly Hallows; the Elder Wand, Invisibility Cloak, and Resurrection Stone; one will be master over

While the little brother ran as fast as he could he was not as fast as the big brother. When the little brother cried out for help the big brother ran faster to the house and this is when the little brother died. His brother was calling to him slow down but he just ran: “When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, "Brother, Brother, don't leave me"”(Hurst
Furthermore, i think his brother killed doodle he did nothing for him when he called for help. (Hurst). Therefore his brother is not a real brother and at the end did not help him at the end of the story I believe it teaches the lesson that too much pride is bad because it can get in the away of your family and it’s not good for people that know you.
Lastly on page 6 paragraph 3 or 4 “bitter, and that streak of cruelty within me awakened.” This goes to show how he already knew that he was going to leave Doodle in the dust just like in the beginning when he wanted to smother him in the pillow. After this all happend Brother regrets his life decisions that he and Doodle ever did. In conclusion I hold him accountable for the death of Doodle.
Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis was full of complexity and detailed information of the understanding during the revolutionary generation. Joseph brought specific point of views and what really happened during this generation that many of us never thought of especially me, which was interesting to read. Joseph really opened my eyes to grasping information of the revolutionary generation that I never thought I would do. Ellis’s writing portrays the founders voice through his writing as if he were actually there at every moment. American history is seen as boring by some including myself sometimes, but with this book, it is showing young minds such as students like myself that America is fascinating and we should want to know all that happened

But, he didn’t want to be the kid who had a mental brother. So he pushed Doodle to the limit, which led to his death. Realizing that he killed the one he loved the most over social status and conforming to those around him, he blames himself and can never undo what he did to the brother he
Showing just how selfish Brother really is. This is not the worse of it all; at the start of their lives, Doodle was so weak and frail that he couldn’t do anything that Brother wanted. He couldn’t fathom this idea, so he plotted “to kill him by smothering him with a pillow” (464). For Brother to even manifest the idea to murder his brother is not only selfish but also psychopathic. These characteristics of Brother will lead to his greatest
Brother’s continuous effort to get William on his feet even when he doubted himself showed how much he cared for him. Brother also said, “Well, if you don’t keep trying, you’ll never learn.” Even when William was feeling dispirited, Brother always motivated him to keep pushing. Mr. Armstrong’s brother couldn’t have been guilty of his death because of the love he had for his brother. There were many factors that played into the death of William, but there’s not one thing that takes the blame.
“I wanted a brother. But Mama, crying, told me that even if William Armstrong lived, he would never do these things with me. He might not, she sobbed, even be “all there.” He might as long as he lived, lie on the rubber sheet in the center of the bed in the front bedroom where the white marquisette curtains billowed out in the afternoon sea breeze, rustling like palmetto fronds” (Hurst 1). In this story William Armstrong (Doodle) is a little kid who has heart problems.
At first the narrator sees Doodle as a crazy frail brother but as we move into the story, we can observe a lot of varying feelings brother has towards Doodle. Brother described Doodle as unbearable, an invalid brother, a brother who was not there at all, so he started
“The Tale of Three Brothers” was first presented in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. In the story arc, one of the main character, Hermione Granger, narrates the story from her copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. These tales were commonly read to children as bedtimes stories because they are “told to amuse rather than instruct” (Rowling 409). “The Three of Three Brothers” relates how three brothers cheated Death and received gifts from him. All these tokens combined would make the “Deathly Hallows”.
