those they care about. In the story, The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, brother was one whose selfishness not only affected him, but everyone surrounding him, especially his brother, Doodle.

Armstrong, better known as Doodle, was a young child. Even though he was “all head, with a tiny body which was red and shriveled,” his innocence never failed to bring joy to his family.
