The Old Woman's Swamp In The Crucible

In the passage "The Scarlet Ibis," the Old Woman's swamp was a get away, and a place where Doodle secretly learned many things from his brother. From learning how to walk to learning how to canoe, the swamp was always the perfect place for them to go. The older brother wanted to share the only beauty he knew with Doodle which was the Old Woman's swamp. The swamp itself was a lot to take in at once. The sight was so pretty that Doodle shed tears when he first saw it. Without the Old Woman swamp, Doodle wouldn't have learned to walk, canoe, or swim. The grass beside a tough pine tree was where Doodle learned to walk. The grass cushioned Doodle when he fell as he was learning. The slippery stream provided somewhere for him to swim and canoe.
