I think he is somewhat guilty because in (Hurst 430) it says "...so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow". That's the guilty part. But I don't believe that he was going to do it because I don't think that he would kill his own brother. For his on good. He also was pushing doodle to the limit and wasn't listening to doodle about what he can and can't do. But i don't think his intinion was to hurt doodle by teaching how to walk.

I think brother is somewhat guilty because he leaves doodle in the rain despite doodles attempts to tell brother to come back. and he had plans to smother doodle with a pillow (Hurst 430) But i also think he is somewhat innocent only because he didn't know doodle was going to die and he wanted doodle to catch up to him and test what they learned.

The brother is somewhat guilty because he was the one that kept letting Doodle come with him. When he was doing things that could be dangerous for Doodle like how he would disobey what the doctor said. The doctor said "...he mustn't get...to tired.." (Hurst 431) and every time they went out trying to get Doodle to walk he was making him tired witch contributed to Doodle needing his brothers help during the storm. But at the same time they are kids.

Personally I believe that he is guilty. I believe this because he was old enough to know how fragile Doodle is. In the text

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the brother is guilty because he was responsible for Doodle and he left him behind.  In the text it says,¨The faster i walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run.¨ This shows that brother was trying to avoid Doodle and that its his fault for leaving him in the rain. Brother knew that Doodle couldn´t catch up yet still ran anyways. Before Doodle dies he cries out ¨Brother, Brother, don´t leave me! Don´t leave me.¨ Even though Brother aknowlaged that Doodle was struggling, Brother still ran kept running.

I honestly believe he is innocent because as life goes on he start to realize he bond with his brother. He stated´´Doodle and I spent lots of time thinking about our future´´( Hurst 434) He started to think what life would be like when we are all grown up. Yes, he did say¨
I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him.¨ (Hurst 432) but when he realized he was wrong for say that and started crying because know one really knew why he taught him how to walk and run. Its like he wanted to take it back  When they were also out teach doodle how to walk the brother´´ ….when he fell, I grabbed him in my arm and hugged him ´´( Hurst 433) he didn´t just let he fell he was holding him like he was fragile. I think the brother didn´t intentional tried to kill him further down in the story.

I believe that Brother is innocent because deep down he didn't really mean for Doodle to die. On page 430 Brother says "... he smiled. He's all there ! He's all there!" This and many more quotes from the story led me to believe that Brother was innocent. Another quote to back up my decision would be at the end of the story on page 441, Brother says " I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looked very familiar." This quote leads me to believe that Brother cared for Doodle and wished he would've helped him. The last quote I have chosen above many others would be " I screamed above the pounding storm and threw my body to the Earth above his." This quote pushed to me the realization that Brother never wanted Doodle to die or mean for him to die. With Brother being young too, he also wouldn't be able to know the limits of Doodle.

I feel like Brother is guilty because he knew that Doodle couldn't walk, yet he taught Doodle how only because he was embarrassed. He also left Doodle alone in the storm, even though he knew Doodle was crying. This caused his death. In the text, it states "I ran as fast as I could, leaving him behind.". This was found on page 441. Although he did stop to wait on Doodle, he still knew Doodle couldn't run well, and left him behind in the rain. Along with this, Brother was already making plans to kill Doodle. The text states "I began to make plans to kill him." This was found on page 430.

At the end of the story brother is teaching doodle how to row a boat when a storm emerges. brother hops out of the boat and leaves doodle behind, as an effect doodle dies from the storm. the reason i think he is somewhat guilty,is because he's a kid and he was scared from the storm so he didn't know any better. But i still think he is guilty because he thought about himself first instead of helping doodle, doodle was even crying to him not to leave him behind and brother kept running.

# data[].attributes.body
I say that brother is somewhat guilty because first off he knows his brother is fragile. He is making Doodle do these things when he might not want to, and the doctors said he shouldn't be able to do these things. I think he can be innocent and guilty. On page 430 Brother says " ...So I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with my pillow." This could be read and be seen as Brother being guilty. Brother is 12 years old so I don't think he knew what would happen to Doodle

# data[].attributes.body
Brother is not guilty of doodles death, The reason behind this are Brother is 12 a child himself. I know someone might say "brother always took care of doodle" but not during situations like what was going on. Their parents are guilty for his death. Also I know brother left doddle, but again doodle is also a child and if doodle would have listened he would be okay. I also know many people might bring up the fact that brother threatened to kill doodle once before but he didn't mean it, its his own brother he wouldn't do that to him, also if he really meant it he wouldn't have been so upset or crying because doodle was dead and if he didn't care because he wouldn't have taught how to do so many things and throughout the story he grew onto his brother and bonded with him and truly cared

# data[].attributes.body
I think that brother is partially to blame, but not 100% at fault for doodle's death. In the story, at first brother is kind of cautious around doodle, and even thinks about killing him, "...so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow." (Hurst 431). As the story progresses, brother starts to take a liking for doodle, and even shows him his favorite place, "...so I dragged him across the burning cotton field to show him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp." (Hurst 431). Brother really did care for Doodle, he just didn't know how to convey it right. He was also young and didn't realize that trying to help Doodle better himself would tire him out in the long run and make his life harder. Going back to the fact that he is at least somewhat guilty, brother leaves Doodle alone, fallen down,  in the middle of a bad storm to die. " I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us. The drops stung my face like nettles, and the wind flared the wet glistening leaves of the bordering trees. Soon I could hear his voice no more." (Hurst 441).

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I believe he's mostly guilty and only somewhat innocent is because he shouldn't have left him in the first place at all. Right before running he was already over working Doodle to a point he couldn't handle so he's guilty for that. He's still innocent because in the past when Brother constantly overworked Doodle, Doodle did his best to push through it and deal with it. Since Brother is still a kid he assumed it would be just like the past and he'd deal  with it. Brother is still mostly guilty because Doodle was only six he should've realized he needed to help him.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that brother is somewhat guilty for doodle's death because he knew is brother was disabled and he tried to make him look normal. brother didn't want to have a crippled and he was embarrassed of doodle “...i was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn’t walk, so i set out to teach him” (hurst 432). the only reason brother taught doodle how to do all those things was for his own good
“they did not know i did it for myself; that pride…” (hurst 434). and brother worked doodle so hard, that doodle ended up dying from tiredness and exhaustion. brother even says "they did not know i did it for myself; that pride…” (hurst 434). what type of brother would even say this. he even left doodle behind when they were running.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say he was guilty because he was making his brother do things that he couldn't do. He was making doodle walk even though he couldn't. He kept on trying to make doodle walk I would say he was trying too hard. He was trying to make doodle walk just because he was embarrassed . His brother also left him in the storm but he ran as fast as he could. His brother also started to make plans to kill doodle. It says " I began to make plans to kill him" ( Hurst 430).

# data[].attributes.body
I think Brother is Guilty, but on other hand I think that he's innocent. Yes, Brother left Doodle in the storm, but he didn't know that Doodle was hurt or stuck. He just thought that Doodle would catch up. The text says "...so i began plans to kill him with a pillow" That says Brother doesn't really care about Doodle and doesn't care if he dies, but I don't think Brother was serious. I don't think Brother wants to kill him or hurt him because the text says, "...he smiled. He's all there! He's all there!". Also at the end the text says, "I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looking very familiar". So I think he's Somewhat Guilty because Brother was only 12 so he's little so he just tried to run from the storm, but he shouldn't of left his brother to die in the first place.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Doodle's Brother is more in the guilty side than innocent. I say this because Doodle's brother was saying stuff that sounds so mean. According to the story it says, " such a name sounds so good only on a tombstone" this shows us how mean he is towards his brother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the brother is somewhat guilty because he did not kill Doodle himself, but he left his weak crying brother to die. I don't think it was the brothers intentions for Doodle to die, but that was the outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that brother is somewhat guilty because he did abandon Doodle in the storm which mainly led to his death. Although brother was only 12 at the time and when the storm came in maybe he didn't think about helping Doodle fast enough. So he was both responsible but not responsible i would say that he was mostly responsible because i think that he still was still somewhat old enough to know it wasn't a good thing to leave Doodle alone in the storm.

# data[].attributes.body
I think brother is guilty because he abandon his brother when he could have saved him and also in ( Hurst 430) it says¨...so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.¨ he wanted him to die.

# data[].attributes.body
brother is guilty because he try to kill doodle because he was embarrass to have a brother that can't walk, he made work until he could not move anymore,and he rain away from him in the storm and when he came back doodle was dead.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the brother was guilty because he should have been looking out for his brother at all times. That's a job that you have to have as a older sibling. He also made Doodle learn to walk when he knew he couldn't. Besides, it wasn't to help out Doodle. Brother states: "...Doodle only walked because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother." This was on page 434.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he is somewhat innocent because he is a young boy and he doesn't know better. Also he shouldn't leave doodle like that and treat him poorly because no matter the age he still should treat his little brother kindly mainly because he has the illness. Besides those two points he was still trying to help Doodle be able to walk and become stronger but he was just frustrated.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I believe that Brother is somewhat guilty because he was old enough to know how fragile Doodle is. In the text it says " I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind "( Hurst 441 ). This shows that he left him in the rain after Doodle clearly told him to not leave him behind. Yes it may not have been Brother's intention of hurting him, but he should have known better considering he has an illness.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the brother is guilty. I say he is guilty because ever since the beginning of the story he would call Doodle a disappointment (Hurst 428) and would say very vulgar things about him or to him. He also left him behind to die, the brother only cared about himself and what made him look better. He also even said he made plans to kill him once by smothering him with a pillow (Hurst 430).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the brother is guilty because brother was avoiding doodle but not to leave him to teach him in the text it says "The faster I walked the faster he walked, so I began began to run", but at the same time it says that doodle was his pride and wouldnt want that taken from him. AT the same time brother ran from doodle in the rain knowing he had had an illness.
