My first piece of evidence is that Brother knew from the day Doodle was born that he wouldn't be able to do all the things a normal, healthy child would be able to do such as being able to walk and do other things for a long time without getting tired after a long time. When Doodle was born Brother stated that ¨I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow¨(Hurst pg.595) and saying how ¨He was a burden in many ways¨(Hurst pg.596) when Doodle was still very young. Along…
The brother was unfortunately ashamed of Doodle. He even stated "it was bad enough to have an invalid brother, but having one who was not all the way there was unbearable."

In the story, the narrator's parents let him tote around their weak son wherever the older brother wanted. If something bad happened to Doodle, there wouldn’t be an adult there to help with the situation. This later happens later in the story, where Doodle is dying and the narrator can do nothing about it because he is just a twelve year old boy. Also, it seems that Doodle should be staying more at home. In the story it says “with his weak heart this strain would probably kill him” (Hurst, 163) and, “His skin was very sensitive” (Hurst, 164). This says that Doodle probably wasn’t fit for the outdoors and could probably get hurt very easily. The parents should probably not have put Doodle into the inexperienced hands of the young narrator.…

The brother even “Made Doodle row back against the tide.” (Pg. 6). The brother made him achieve goals that were beyond Doodles ability to do. I talked with the mom and even she said “Doodle began to look feverish,” (Pg. 4). The case says that Doodle’s brother worked him so hard that is infant like body got tired and Doodle got sick. During my investigation the brother stated “Our program has gone on for weeks but we still we kept on,” (Pg. 4). The program that the boys made together to improve Doodle failed, but the narrator kept going causing Doodle to be…

Sir Thomas Mallory wrote the story Le Morte d’Arthur, which is a story about medieval times and the day of King Arthur. From those times to the present day, a variety of stories have been crafted.
