generation. Another great representation of why this generation is so great is represented by those who survived the harsh environments of the German concentration camps.

the cause of pride. Their judgments were clouded as a result of hubris. In particular, the narrator from the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis”, famous cyclist Lance Armstrong, and legendary leader Julius Caesar exemplify that people who allow pride to consume them will make irrational choices that lead to regrettable consequences. The narrator of “The Scarlet Ibis”, allowed pride to consume him, to be a slave to it. The narrator Said to himself after the failure of his plan, “The idea that…

William Armstrong also known as Doodle, an innocent little boy that died. The argument is was the death a natural, an accident or was it his brother’s fault. I believe that Doodle’s death was his brother’s fault, because his brother showed a lot of cruelty towards Doodle, more than compassion. The reason are he only taught Doodle how to walk because he didn’t like his brother being “different”. It even states in text that, “When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed of having a brother…

involved. Family relationships can be the hardest just because you can not control who your family is and what your family does. Even if you love the other person (especially a family member), you might not always act loving. In James Hurst's "The Scarlet Ibis", Brother is both hurtful and caring towards Doodle, demonstrating the complex and paradoxical nature of love. There isn't much argument that Brother was not hurtful towards Doodle; Brother did many terrible things to him. This quote…

From Pride Stems Life and Death The inner emotions and traits of humans are unpredictable, because each person’s thoughts and opinions are specialized for themselves. In James Hurst's short story, The “Scarlet Ibis”, Brother states that, "...pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death" (347). This means that everyone has a choice to make, either good or bad. Choosing one or the other, can greatly affect each life. One's prideful qualities may create self…

Setting in “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Scarlet Ibis” In “The Most Dangerous Game,” the author uses foreshadowing to create a brooding and ironic mood to show the satire of a hunter being hunted. There is a “tangle of trees and underbrush” awaiting Rainsford on the mysterious island, along with trampled weeds and blood, likely from an animal (3). Rainsford notices an empty cartridge, giving him the impression that there are people there. He confirms this assumption when he sees a huge…

The author is trying to teach us that it is due to human nature that we try to change others to fit our own personal standards, and the consequences may be severe. In “The Scarlet Ibis”, the narrator presents this theory in a number of ways. In the beginning of the story, Doodle finally learns to crawl. His brother is genuinely pleased by this feat, and his reason being is typical. “For the first time he became one of us” (1). At this point, Doodle is only two years old. Despite this, 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. The odds were against little ol’ Doodle, and then they came after him. Towards the end of this story there was a Scarlet Ibis, it was…

mindset of the literary theme, Blood Will Have Blood. James Hurst’s “The Scarlet Ibis” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” are both examples of literature with this theme in mind. Both “The Scarlet Ibis” and “The Cask of Amontillado” develop the theme of Blood Will Have Blood throughout the course of each story respectively. Hurst establishes the theme, Blood Will Have Blood, through “The Scarlet Ibis” as violence towards Doodle continues to lead to other violent acts. Near the…
