Brother and Joe
What made Joe and Brother great brothers figures? Brother and Doddle are characters from “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. Joe and Simon are characters from Simon Birch by Mark Johnson. Brother and Joe teach us to not give up on some one. By being loving, caring, and motivating.
Joe and brother were both loving to Simon and Doddle. “I’m going to teach you to walk.” (Hurst 3). That shows how loving brother was to doddle. “He is not a screw, he is a hero.” (Johnson, Simon Birch). That shows how much Joe stood up for Simon.
Them being loving also meant that they were caring. “So I dragged him across the burning cotton field” (Hurst 2). That shows how much he cared. Also how much of his time he put into Doddle. “You don’t deserve him” (Johnson, Simon Birch). That is what he said to Simon’s parents when they were making fun of Simon.

    In “Freddie in the Shade” on page 22 it said, “Freddie lifted it out of its white paper cradle and bit into the sweet goodness” (Ryan). When Freddie was at the bakery he was joyful. The taste of his eclair and the smell of the bakery helped to shape that character trait. On the other hand, in “The Day it Rained Cats” on page 25 it said, “Tears stung my eyes as I slammed the car door” (Park). Sheera felt heart-broken when she was at her house..

    The allegory “The scarlet ibis” by James Hurst is about A boy that gets a brother who is not all there and they think he is going to die. He ends up surviving, but his brother is embarrassed that he has a brother who is not all there so he tries to fix him, but he has too much pride and it ends in tragedy. First, you should know That the brother names him Doodle doodle ends up living and he ends up being all there, but that is not enough for his brother (Hurst).

    In James Hurst’s “The Scarlet Ibis,” the first-person narration enables the reader to see the narrator’s emotional changes as he grows up with his “invalid” brother. The story was told by the brother, who helped Doodle overcome many challenges he faced due to his disability. For instance, The narrator was seen as self-centered. “When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn’t walk, so I set out to teach him.” (Hurst, n.d., 4) For the reader, it seemed selfish of the brother that he taught Doodle to walk to benefit the narrator himself, not necessarily Doodle. As well, because the story was told only by the brother’s perspective, there was no way to know how the other family members handled Doodle’s…

    In this paragraph I will show my personal connection to a theme of family-ties in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. On a page it says that “He talked so much that we all quit listening to what he said” (Hurst). I connect to this because my brother too is annoying because sometimes he never stops talking. Yet he talks with such an exotic vocabulary whenever he never stops talking. On another page it says “But doodle couldn’t keep up with the plan”(Hurst). I connect to this as well because my youngest brother doesn’t always listen or focus, but sometimes he follows with such…

    As an avid reader, I’ve been in many characters’ shoes like Bella and her love triangle in Twilight or Hamlet and his abyss of madness in Hamlet. However, I’ve always struggled to connect with characters that have close sibling relationships because I never had a Hansel to my Gretel or a Ron to my Ginny Weasley. I was born six years after my brother, Oscar, making it difficult for us to develop an inseparable bond like other siblings. When I was still listening to Taylor Swift, Oscar was already reciting lyrics to explicit rap music and hanging out with friends after school. Our parents treated us differently as well. Oscar was what my mother deemed as the “mistake child.” She often expressed her regrets of not pushing him harder in his academics. As a result, my brother’s grades suffered from his indifference towards school to the point where he was even held back a grade.…
