He was red from the waist down, and couldn't walk correctly for many years. One day, the narrator -Doodle's older brother- decided to teach him how to walk, and showed their parents when he finished teaching Doodle. Then, the narrator taught Doodle other things, like running, swimming, etc. A short time after that, they discovered that a scarlet ibis had fallen to its death from the bleeding tree in their yard. That same day, Doodle and the narrator went out, and were caught in a storm. They ran and ran to get to safety, but Doodle was left behind. When the narrator found him, Doodle had bled out through his mouth, and, he had a look similar to that of the dead scarlet ibis. ]]> 2019-05-07 15:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/shruthi_sankuratri/gr8ixmeg0i72/wish/357661182 Group Names shruthi_sankuratri https://padlet.com/shruthi_sankuratri/gr8ixmeg0i72/wish/357661282

    stream of love. And at times I was mean to Doodle. One time I showed him his casket, telling
    him how we all believed he would die. When I made him touch the casket, he screamed."(Hurst).

    "Finally one day he stood alone for a few seconds. When he fell, I grabbed him in my arms and
    hugged him, our laughter ringing through the swamp like a bell. Now we knew it could be done" (Hurst).

    "'Doodle, Doodle.' There was no answer but the ropy rain. I began to weep, and the tear-blurred
    vision in red before me looked very familiar. 'Doodle!' I screamed above the pounding storm
    and threw my body to the earth above his. For a long time, it seemed forever, I lay there crying,
    sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis."(Hurst).]]>     2019-05-07 15:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shruthi_sankuratri/gr8ixmeg0i72/wish/357663018     Motif alice_bonn https://padlet.com/shruthi_sankuratri/gr8ixmeg0i72/wish/357673023 A recurring subject, theme, idea, etc., especially in a literary, artistic, or musical work (dictionary.com).
