The narrator didn't make doodle die. I am saying this because of the reasons in the story. There are three reasons that it's not the narrator's fault doodle died. The storey tells that he was running so how is it the narrator's. The first reason is that he didn't kill him at all. He was just having fun not really trying to kill doodle. He didn't mean for him to die. He didn't remember that if he did things that could make his heart collapse, I assume because he said to run. But in other words he didn't kill him. The second reason is because when he was a kid he wanted to smother his brother because he couldn't do anything. He wanted a brother that could go outside with him and go to the pond. But then his brother talked then crawled the started
In “The Scarlet Ibis," Doodle had the same right to live as his family did. I believe that even though Doodle was destined to die” he should have been able to live the short life he had.
Doodle always learned new sports but never played on any teams. Simon was apart of a team, a baseball team. He didn't play much. When he did his coaches made him get hit by the ball so he would make it to the base each time. Doodle knew that he could die at any time that's why he was so cautious. So when Doodle was tired he would always say something because he was being alert about his harsh movements. Simon lived a normal life so he never worried about it. He has always wanted to become a hero, he would tell everyone about it but no one believed him. Though they have similar heart conditions they died very different deaths. Even Simon's death was more active than Doodles. He was saving other kids on a bus that had crashed into a lake. At that time the when the bus was in the lake it was wintertime and the water was freezing. And Simons little body couldn’t handle it. He had died of that, but also died of being a hero. Doodle died because he was being over exerted from rowing. His brother pushed him too hard and his body couldn't take all of the work. His brother left his because there was a storm occurring. He was yelling at Doodle and telling him that he would be fine. As Brother was running home he realized when he was calling Doodle there was no

In the story, the narrator's pride sometimes takes him over and eventually kills his brother Doodle. At the end of the story, the narrator " as I [He] lay sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain" (176).

One reason brother is guilty is because he was mean to doodle. He was mean because he pushed doodle to his limits. Another way brother was mean is because he me doodle row the boat against the tide.Doodle is not opposed to do anything that is hard for him. Those are some reasons he is mean to doodle. More reasons he is mean is because he threaten to leave doodle in the barn loft.
Months after that, doodle was able to stand, and all that other stuff. I would explain and go into detail but I have already enough. Doodle and him go down to the swamp after it was all good and done. It starts to rain pretty
However, the dark jus counterbalance with description of beauty. The narrator’s details create the beauty of wild “would gather wildflowers, wild violets, honeysuckles, yellow jasmine, snow flowers, and water lilies and with the grass (would) weave them into necklaces and crowns.” The naming of many flowers creates the image that the brothers are in this magic world and no harm can ever come to them. “Knot of cruelty” cause him to tease his brother and frighten him. Once when the brother took Doodle to the barn where seeming a screech owl- a bird that is associated with death. “Don’t leave me Don’t leave me” These words are very simple but hold great meaning which bring in the bitter mood of sadness and impending down. The point of view has the influences its mood. The reader knows about the relationship between the brother comes from the narrators view. The story seems to be the brother looking back feeling responsible for Doodle’s death. The first description of Doodle was “nice crazy, like someone you meet in your dreams” but yet he was “a disappointment” because of his physical
Although the narrator of the story contributes to Doodle's death, the narrator actually enhanced Doodle's short life helping him live more than he helps him die. Additionally the narrator always knows that Doodle can act more like a normal boy, than as a sick person that was about to die. In "Scarlet Ibis" the narrator is not responsible for Doodles death.

In conclusion, Brother shows his self-interest in how he treats his younger brother. He treats his younger brother, Doodle, as something to ‘fix’ and he cannot accept his brother as he is. When Doodle finally learns to walk, Brother’s selfish need for a more ‘ideal’ little brother is not satisfied for long. Soon he demands a little brother who can run, jump, climb, swim, swing on vines, and row a boat. When he gives Doodle lessons for these activities, he does not do so for concern about Doodle wanting to be able to do them, but because he wants Doodle to be able to be a ‘normal’ brother.
While there are many more significant literary devices throughout the short story, symbolism and foreshadowing are the most prevalent. These devices enhance the story, because they keep the readers attention. Symbolism and foreshadowing help the reader better understand the characters and how the brother’s actions lead to the death of Doodle.
