    Brief Summary And Character Analysis: Brother

    Brother is accountable for Doodle’s death since he was warned by the doctors not to push him, but he disregarded it and tried to make him like a “normal” boy. As Brother thinks back to him and Doodle walking home from Old Woman’s Swamp, he confessed, “The faster I walked the faster he walked, so I began to run” (Hurst 394). Brothers walking pace displays how he walked faster, just to make Doodle walk faster. Since Brother did this he pushed Doodle too far, putting his life in danger. Brother teaches Doodle how to swim and row, he made Doodle “swim until he turned blue and row until he couldn’t lift an oar” (Hurst 391). Brother wants Doodle to learn faster, so he makes him practice heavily. If Doodle hadn’t of had the heart disabilities that…

    Summary: The Scarlet Ibis By James Hurst

    We can infer that the mother was not completely involved in his upbringing either, despite his lack of disability. By allowing him to go off on his own, his mother was avoiding spending time and making important memories with him. Through Doodle, the brother was attempting to earn some recognition. In his mind, he taught Doodle to walk and he should get credit for it. Going back to the line “But all of us must have something to be proud of, and Doodle had become my something,” opens a new door into the brother`s way of thinking. He was hoping to become his mother`s “something” by giving back the child she never truly got to have. The brother was the only one who had hope in Doodle, most likely because he didn’t truly understand the circumstances of Doodle`s birth. He wanted so desperately for his little brother to be like every other boy. He pushed himself and Doodle to succeed while his parents were distracted with trying to forget their second…

    A Character Analysis Of Brother Doodle's Brother

    Brother was a very heartless character when his brother Doodle first came into his life. During Doodle’s life his body was slow at developing. He had a heart condition they could not treat, let alone discover it. Brother did not approve of Doodle because he could not do all of the typical “brother” things. He decided he did not need him in his life anymore. “It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not there at all was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow” (Hurst 176). A loving or happy child does not usually want to physically kill their sibling and make a to. Brother was very unhappy that Doodle could not run, jump, play, or even walk with him. There is a possibility Brother…

    The Two Headed Calf By James Hurst: Poem Analysis

    In the “Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, Brother and Doodle are like the two-headed calf staring at the stars in the poem, “The Two-Headed Calf,” by Mary Gilpin. Although Brother is at time aggravated by Doodle’s neediness and because he is “a burden in so many ways,” (Hurst) the brothers still enjoy their time together and, while growing up, are free to be themselves. The time the brothers spend together at Old Woman Swamp enjoying nature and each other is carefree in the same way the two-headed calf is carefree when enjoying the beautiful night without any fear of persecution. It is only when the looming threat of school draws close, that Brother begins to worry how others may view Doodle and even himself for having a crippled brother. It is…

    the scarlet ibis

    In the story, the narrator teaches Doodle how to walk. Not because he cares about Doodle, but because he is embarrassed of him. “They did not know that I did it for myself”, (pg434, L181-L184). He only helped Doodle for his own selfish reasons. The narrator didn’t want to be seen with a handicap brother, so he encouraged or forced Doodle to walk and act like a regular kid. So he didn’t help Doodle out of brotherly love but out of being egoistic and caring what people thought of him and his family.…
