   I think the Narrator is writing in the memory of Doodle and how much of it was his fault and how much Doodle changed his life and how Doodle proved everyone wrong. The narrator speaks in a past tense, using words and imagery that explain his experience and story with Doodle maybe years later after his death.]]> 2017-10-31 10:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202063892 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202063948 "He was born when I was six and was, from the outset, a disappointment."
   This quote is at the beginning of the story. It alerts the reader to the Narrator's thoughts from his little brother at beginning. The Narrator wanted a brother who could play with him.

  This quote is foreshadowing the death of Doodle in the beginning before the story takes off fully. I say this because the quote uses the words Tombstone and Sounds Good versus using other descriptive words for Doodle's name.]]> 2017-10-31 10:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064036 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064068 “Summer was dead, but autumn was not yet born”
  This line doesn't make sense because there is no time limit in between seasons. So this quote is using the word 'dead' in a different way versus using it to describe the change of season.]]> 2017-10-31 10:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064068 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064073 2017-10-31 10:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064073 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064083 2017-10-31 10:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064083 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064177 "For a long time, it seemed forever, I lay there crying, sheltering my scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain."
   This is a perfect quote to show that Doodle is the Narrators Scarlet Ibis. The way Doodle died was similar to how the Scarlet Ibis. They both died in a storm and they both died in a similar position. ]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064177 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064205 "It was in the clove of seasons, summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born, that the ibis lit in the bleeding tree."
   This quote tells the reader that Doodle is in tune with nature. He notices how these elements of the natural world impact his life and the lives of the people around him. The events in his memory of Doodle are linked to a marked by weather and the seasons. ]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064205 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064231 2017-10-31 10:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064231 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064247 "Renaming my brother was perhaps the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle."
   This quote shows that the Narrator is proud in the sense that he is assuming Doodle is going to not be taken seriously. This makes him unable to accept Doodle as disabled.]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064247 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064274 "But all of us must have something to be proud of, and Doodle had become mine. I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death."
   Compared to when Doodle was born and his first couple of years and the start of their 'training', the Narrator has changed his outlook towards Doodle from no one taking Doodle seriously into him being proud to have him as a brother. However, everything they have accomplished is because of the Narrators pride, not due the kindness of his heart or love.]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064274 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064291 2017-10-31 10:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064291 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064320 "I'm going to bury him."
   This quote is just one of many quotes that show the mood of the story. Just by looking at this quote shows that the story is dark and emotional. ]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064320 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064324 "For a long time, it seemed forever, I lay there crying, sheltering my scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain."
   This is one of the Narrators last quotes which proves my point that the story is dark and emotional. I say this because he is crying and laying there while holding is form of a Scarlet Ibis which is similar to the original bird.]]> 2017-10-31 10:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064324 2022kyleb https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064340 2017-10-31 10:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2022kyleb/bpn1p8ffe72a/wish/202064340
