Why Do People Help Others For A Reason?

People do acts of kindness for a reason. People help others because they are in need and because they can get a benefit out of it. For example, I live in Texas and over the summer we had many catastrophic events. Including hurricanes through the Houston and Corpus Christi area. There was another through Puerto Rico and many earthquakes happened in Mexico. Many people lost their lives, homes, and all of their belongings. As a close church community, we were able to incorporate other church communities and non-profit organizations to help us out and gather as much as we could to be able to send to the victims of Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, and the victims of the earthquake in Mexico.

Pushing him to his limit quite a few times and having him collapse was not the best experience of Doodle, but he continued trying to improve because of his brother and wanting to make him proud. The narrator was only doing it for his convenience though because he wanted to have a “normal” brother. Someone to play around with, to go for walks with, or jogs, maybe catch a ball. He would not be able to do that if all he could do was just pull him around in a wagon.
