In the story “The Scarlet Ibis”, one of the characters named doodle got killed during the thunderstorm. The question now is whether or not it is the narrator's fault for his death. In my opinion it wasn’t the narrator's fault for Doodles death. The narrator is (his older brother) who set the odds aside for both himself and doodle achieved many miracles you could say.

There was noting that the family could have done to stop his death. Know they can be happy that they achieved many miracles with doodle, like him being able to
