The Scarlet Ibis Essay
Anthony Rogers 11/24/2011 Orange The Scarlet Ibis
When you see a movie there's a lot of rising action, but then there's also
a big fall from a tragic even. But when you read a book the support the author
gives you is extensive, as they lead you to the fall of the story like someone
getting hurt or injured but lots of time death. That's exactly what “James Hurst”
does in his short story “The Scarlet Ibis”. As Hurst leads you to the death of “Doodle” a little boy born as a special needs child who has lived a tough life with
his Brother, Mom, Dad, and, Aunt Nicey in North Carolina during the year 1918.
In the short story “The Scarlet Iblis” there is a little boy named Doodle.
The story starts out as “Summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born that
the ibis lit the bleeding tree” In that line it talks about a Scarlet Iblis a native bird
to South America and parts of Florida. The thing about this bird though is its red,
like the ibis the bleeding tree, is also referring to the color red or in this case
death. The empty oriole nest in the elm was untenanted and rocked back and
fourth like on an empty cradle. “Doodle was about the craziest brother a boy ever
had, but not crazy crazy,” but “was like someone you met in your dreams.”
Doodle's was born when his brother was six. Now the interesting thing is that Doodle brother goes by brother in the story and is not given a certain name.
