    The stories although similar have multiple differences. One difference is that Brother tried to change who Doodle was. He pushed Doodle really hard, at first to walk and then other things, like learning how to swim. On the other hand, in the story “Forever” Tim accepted Richard for who he was. Although Tim had a different perspective because he was also disabled, so his point of view was different than Brother’s. Brother was normal and a little kid, he just wanted a normal brother to do things fun things with. Another difference between the two stories is that in “Forever” Tim’s death was expected, the…

    Even though I have a hard time relating to people in general, or story book characters, I relate to this character. Doodle’s older brother is different than most characters and experiences things that change his personality throughout the story. Judging on that he blames himself for things that really aren’t his fault, always pushes his brother to push himself and to go on past his ability, mentally and physically, and he goes with his brother everywhere and spends lots of time with him, shows that we are alike in many ways. However, I relate to Doodle’s older…

    The brother also didn't want to be burdened by his brother's disabilities he said: "When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set but to teach him." He wanted to show Doodle the world that he sees the place that he lives that makes him so happy and that he feels that it is the prettiest place on the planet. Doodle doesn't get to see it all because he is not able to go swimming in the ponds and isn't able to run in the fields that his brother does on a daily basis. The brother sets out to teach him to walk and won't give up until Doodle is able to walk on his own without his go-cart. "I took him by the arms and stood up. He collapsed onto the grass like a half-empty flour sack. It was as if he had no bones in his little legs." In the end I think that the brother ended up learning more than Doodle did because he was given the gift of patience and in the end he still has to deal with the fact that he "killed" his…

    Brother gave Doodle swimming lessons and taught him how to row a boat when it was warm outside. Then when it was cooler he gave him lessons on how to box and how to climb. Then, on a warm day outside they were rowing when storm clouds came about them so they hurried off the boat back to their house. Brother was running as fast as he could, not checking for Doodle. Little did he know Doodle had fallen and had been bleeding excessively. When Brother finally turned around to look for him , it was too late.“Finally I went back and found him huddled beneath a red nightshade bush beside the road. He was sitting on the ground, his face buried in his arms which were resting on his drawn up knees. “Let's go , Doodle,” I said. He didn’t answer , so I placed my hand on his forehead and lifted his head. Limply, he fell backwards onto the earth. He had been bleeding from the mouth, and his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red.” This shows how Brother’s pride in Doodle over-powered his thoughts into forgetting about his illness. Having too much pride in something or someone can affect the way you…
