Doodle’s Brother, Guilty or Innocent?
Doodle’s brother guilty or innocent you ask? Well let see here hmmm… GUILTY, GUILTY, and umm oh yea GUILTY! I mean helllloooo he's so guilty you couldn't even give evidence that he's not , I mean sure he might have said he loved his brother but would someone who loves their brother say that they were going to kill him? Let me teach you something I call it “Lying” and “lying” is where someone says one thing but never does it, I wonder where you might find that… oh yea DOODLE’S BROTHER. By now you’re probably saying something like smart like “Oh yea then he could oh lied about killing his brother than huu.” but sorry for I have evidence to prove that that wasn't a lie.
For example on page 354 Doodle’s brother states and I quote “I began to make plans to kill Doodle by smothering him with a pillow”. That itself should enough evidence to prove he’s guilty but to prove he’s not lying look on page 345 when Doodle’s brother quite clearly

On page 350 Doodle’s brother actually tries to kill Doodle “One day I took him up to the barn loft and showed him his casket… it was covered with a film of paris green, sprinkled to kill rats.’It’s not mine’ replied Doodle.’I want you to touch it’ Demanded Doodle’s brother. ‘I won’t touch it’. Exclaimed Doodle. ‘ You WILL touch it, or i'm not letting you down’. Threatened Doodle’s brother.” There you have it, there's the proof that Doodle’s brother not only threatened Doodle but also attempted to kill

Danticat grew up in an apartment in a seemingly unprivileged area called Westbury Court in Brooklyn, New York.

By then, Danticat realizes the importance of the phrase that her mother told her after the tragedy, “Sometimes

In “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, Doodle is an intelligent character. William “Doodle” Armstrong is a character who everybody thought was going to die. However, when Doodle lives on to see another day, he learns of the incredible world that his mind, but not necessarily his body, would be able to experience. Doodle’s first signs of intelligence is shown when the narrator describes his responsiveness. Doodle was able to respond to his name, and when he began to talk, he “talked so much that [they] all quit listening to what he said” (556). This description of Doodle’s earlier life shows his above-average intelligence because it emphasizes the extraordinary mental actions that Doodle was capable of, as opposed to what his physical well-being
This is another way he is guilty. Brother decides to teach Doodle to walk, because they are both getting older, "When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I sat out to teach him." (597). With Doodle not being able to walk still, but so close to starting school it scared his Brother. It scared him, because he didn't want to be teased because of his brother's condition. He thought he would teach him even though the doctors told him and his family that Doodle couldn't learn to walk, because it can be mentally and physically harming for
During the novel, Chris states that a murder is commonly committed by a member of your own family. By stating facts and using statistics, the reader believes that it is possible Mr Shears committed the murder. “5. If it was c) I only knew one person who didn’t like Mrs Shears, and that was Mr Shears who knew Wellington very well indeed.” chapter sixty-seven, page fifty-four. In this quote, our protagonist explains to the reader why he believes Mr Shears may have murdered the dog, he does this by stating facts which forces the reader to believe Chris and consider Chris as a reliable source. During the novel the reader is not given any direct clues to any other suspects and follows along and agrees with Chris’ actions and beliefs. One way the author shows this is by making Chris keep investigating Mr Shears and trying to find evidence to prove him guilty. “This meant that Mr Shears was my Prime Suspect.” chapter sixty-seven, page fifty-four. This quote directly states who the suspect is and this short, direct sentence motivates the reader to agree and continue to believe everything the narrator states. With all things considered, Mr Shears did not commit the crime and his intention in the novel was to mislead the reader as well as the young
The novel Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer has a very in-depth conflict that is showcased all throughout the novel. In Theo's community, there is a high-profile murder trial about to begin. Mr. Pete Duffy, a wealthy business man, is accused of murdering his wife Myra Duffy. The prosecutors have the idea that Mr. Duffy did it for the one million dollar insurance policy he took out on his wife earlier, however they have no proof to support this accusation (Grisham 53). The defendants do however have the proof that no one saw the murder, for all everyone knew, Mr. Duffy was playing his daily round of golf at the golf course right by his house. As the trial moved on, the jury was starting to lean towards letting Mr. Duffy walk a free man. To this point, there has been no proof to support the prosecutors statements that Mr. Duffy killed h...
Judge Dee disguised himself as an itinerant physician and later on as a silk merchant in order to apprehend the double murdered Shao Lee-huai in “The Double Murder at Dawn” case. Judge Dee was also very diligent with the documentations and procedures for his cases. In “The Strange Corpse” case for example, he “had the necessary documents relating to the exhumation filled out” (76). Additionally, Judge Dee also made sure the information he received was as accurate as possible. For example, the grave digger that indicated which one was Bee Hsun’s grave had to impress his thumbmark on a document: “testifying that this is indeed Bee Hsun’s grave. Should there be a mistake, then you will have to bear the consequences” (69). Judge Dee drew up reports of the events that transpired during his investigations to his superiors. Moreover, if the judge believed he made a mistake, he would report it. In “The Strange Corpse” case for example, Judge Dee “described in full detail how he had committed the crime of desecrating a grave, and recommended himself for appropriate punishment” (79). Judge Dee wrote this because he genuinely believed he made a mistake. He believed he had slander an innocent woman and had desecrated Bee Hsun’s body after the autopsy failed to reveal how he
Doodle was known to be fragile and had many problems in the beginning of the story. He was born with a large head and small body. His head was red and Doodle’s brother was worried because he wanted to have a normal brother. In the story it says, “Everybody thought he was going to die, everybody except aunt Nicey, who had delivered him” (Hurst 462). They had even went to the extent to build him a coffin. Doodle was highly doubted and this leads part of me to think that this is the main reason he had tried so hard, besides the
In conclusion Doodle was not normal, he was weak but he was strong minded and tried to stay positive most of the time.

Doodle's brother was never able to accept him for who he was. Even very early in the story, shortly after Doodle was born. His brother's unhappiness with Doodle was mostly because he wanted a brother with whom he could play and run. The thought of a brother who could barely move and probably never walk was embarrassing. He even states that Doodle, "....
Brother is too engulfed in his selfish desire for a ‘better’ brother that he does not give Doodle a chance to rest. “I made him swim until he turned blue, and row until he couldn’t lift an oar.” This excerpt shows the reader how ruthless Brother is in the training he has set up for Doodle. Brother appears to care more about him being capable of doing these ‘fun’ things than his brother having fun doing them does. “Success lay at the end of the summer like a pot of gold” When Brother says this, he relays how he is greedy for a better brother and will do anything to get what he wants.

...verything” (Hurst 1). The brother only cared about himself and having fun, and did not think about the affect his actions had on Doodle. The brother decides to “teach him [Doodle] to run, to swim, to climb trees, and to fight” (Hurst 3). Readers can begin to infer that the brother’s careless actions will later lead to serious injury or the death of Doodle.
