He was disappointed because he was born crippled and not like all the other boys. He couldn't even walk or do anything so everyone including the narrator thought that he was a failure.

What is a summary of 'The Scarlet Ibis?

"The Scarlet Ibis" focuses on how a physically disabled child, born William Armstrong, later referred to as Doodle, grows up with much influence from his older brother. The story is written in the eyes of his unnamed brother, and begins with the narrator's words of grief that fade into his memories when his brother was still alive, when William was first born. The older brother was first extremely disappointed to have an "invalid" brother and was so raged at this that he had planned to actually kill him. But when he saw his brother smile and look straight at him, he gained hope that his brother might be the kind of brother he had always wished for. When William was around the age of 2, his older brother had observed how he would crawl like a doodlebug, in a backward motion,resulting of the creation of the nickname, "Doodle". As Doodle grew and became older, he was transported on a go-cart, having no hope of ever walking...until he was taught to walk by his older brother. The older brother had had many expectations from Doodle and trained him day by day how to run, to climb and to swing. He had put a large amount of hope into making his brother the kind of brother that others had, and therefore started to treat Doodle as if he was the person he had fantasized. But little did he know that his brother was far from being his dream brother-that is at least physically. Consequently came the tragic death of William "Doodle" Armstrong, when the older brother becomes disappointed at Doodle and deserts him in a downpour and comes back to discover Doodle under a tree, blood trickling from his mouth, dead.

Is The Scarlet Ibis sad?

Yes the scarlet ibis is sad, and is super sad and tear-worthy if you have a little sibling that you can relate to the story. It took me a couple days to get the thought of it happening to my brother out of my mind. Would definitely not reccomend it just because of how sad it is. Especially how the main character, Doodle, cries "Don't leave me big brother" but the narrator, Doodle's big brother, just runs away even though Doodle is crippled and needs extra attention to be safe.


The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst?

Brief Plot SummaryDoodle was a brother that seemed "invalid". He was born with a tiny, shriveled body and couldn't walk, run, jump, climb, or fight, all of the narrator's bests interests. In spite of this, when Doodle becomes old enough, Brother decides to teach him to walk. Done with great accomplishment, Brother decides to teach Doodle how to do many other recreational sports before the summer is over and before Doodle will begin his first year of schooling. This task however, takes a little bit longer to complete. One day, in the midst of their training, Doodle and his family hear a loud croaking sound from the lunch table in which they are eating. Stepping outside, there is a sight of a scarlet ibis perched precariously on top of a tree. Seconds later, the ibis trembles down, landing with a thud. It is dead. With this event put to the side, Brother and Doodle head out to Horsehead Landing as soon as lunch is over to practice rowing. The sky quickly turns dark and before they know it, the two are stuck in the middle of a severe lightning storm. Very disappointed that the job the narrator wanted to complete was not successful, he runs home in distress, Doodle lugging far behind. At a point, Brother stops and waits for Doodle. Nobody comes, and when his name is called, Doodle does not respond. Heading back in search for him, Brother finds him huddled beneath a poisonous red nightshade bush. He is bleeding from his mouth and is as limp as could be. It becomes clear to Brother what he had done as he concludes by saying "…I lay there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of rain."


Can you play just dance if your left handed?

No, and I am very disappointed by this, as my little brother is left-handed, and he only gets minimal scores, even if he is doing the moves correctly.
