In "Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, Brother was able to inspire Doodle to walk. Although he may not have done it for the right reasons, he could have ignored Doodle his whole life. In fact, Brother only prompted Doodle to walk because he wanted to have a healthy brother. He was ashamed of Doodle's disabilities. Brother displays many signs of being a good leader as shown by his success in getting Doodle to walk. Although Brother was motivated for all the wrong reasons, he still exhibited most of the traits of being a good leader. Driven by the humiliation of having a disabled brother, Brother develops an idea to teach Doodle to walk. Teaching Doodle to walk was not easy, as Brother stated, "It was as if he had no bones in his little legs."
