Out of all the short stories we read in the first marking period, I think the best is The Scarlet Ibis. First of all, the story itself is not mediocre, instead, it is erratic and unique. I think if this story was made into a movie, the film would be lucrative since it is a story that will stick with the reader. What makes this story better is the characters.

Although, I didn’t like that the older brother is dissolute since he jeered and tantalized Doodle just because he can't walk or his writing is illegible. I am aware that the older brother did that to fortify Doodle in achieving their goals, but it’s heartbreaking to see an innocent kid get sullied and becoming unflinching
