When Doodle died it was the saddest day of my life. I cried for hours because I thought it was my fault. But apparently I wasn’t the only one that thought it was my fault my parents did too. So I have officially been shunned from my family, which really hurt because they were the only people that I had. I mean yeah I have a lot of friends at school but throughout the summer we lost all connections to each other. I saw some of them at church when my family and I went on Sunday but that was very rare, since my parents have started to fighting. The last time I remember my parents getting along was the night when we were eating at the dinner table, when Doodle was still here with us, and that darn scarlet ibis fell from the tree in the back yard.
This Persuasive writing is about the Scarlett ibis. Its asking us if we think doodles brother is responsible for his death or not responsible. In my opinion, the brother is not responsible for Doodle's death. Even though he feels like he should be blamed. Doodle was destined to die. Fate has a huge role in this story. This is evident in the scarlet ibis, which was a foreshadowing of what was to come. This brilliant bird represented doodle, and the bird died. Doodle was supposed to die. The brother was only 13. He was mean, it's true, but he was young. He was acting how most boys his age do when confronted with something uncomfortable, like a disabled brother. He was jealous of the attention Doodle got, and he was embarrassed by Doodle's
I’m here today to represent deceased Doodle. The Narrator was responsible for Doodle’s death because he left him in the storm, he showed cruelty towards Doodle, and didn’t care about Doodle’s conditions or diabilities or feelings at all!
Yes, I do feel that it was the narrator's fault that Doodle died. The reason that I think this for the reason that the narrator purposely ignored what the doctor had told them what not to do. Also, he pushed Doodle hard.
Relationships between people are not always what they seem; they can be very complex and unworkable or very simple and smooth. In the short stories "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker and 'The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, unique relationships are portrayed between different characters. " Everyday Use" is a well-written short story about differences on views on heritage and tradition. The narrator also known as Mama is a black manly woman who has two very dissimilar relationships with her quiet daughter Maggie and her assertive daughter Dee. However, in the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" one connection is enhanced between Doodle, who is handicapped, and his older brother.
There are many explanations of why it was the narrator’s responsibility of Doodle’s death, and here are just a few.
They were just fine the week before. I didn’t even get to see their dead body when they died. That day, they were supposed to be coming back from North Carolina with the drugs shipped from Morocco, but Jeff and other people came back without them. I rushed up and asked them where my parents were, Jeff said they died. I didn’t believe him, I thought they were hiding outside to give me a surprise for my birthday. No one. No one was outside.
How did my life become so complicated? I miss my brothers and Baby Suggs and I miss when life was normal. I miss dad. I wish I knew him. Momma says he’s coming but I obviously know better than that. He hasn’t ever been in my life, what makes me think he’d just show up and want to be in my life now? I’m so lonely. I thought things would get better when Beloved came. I thought she’d cure my loneliness. But no. Everything changed when she came. She’s rude and crude and is trying to steal my mom. Beloved is my sister, but she’s definitely not acting like it. She’s acting like momma. She’s been dressing like momma, talking like momma, and acting like momma. It’s freaking me out. I can’t get away from it. I can barely tell them apart
I was getting ready for school tomorrow and I had made a miniature bed for chubs in the kitchen earlier that day. he was looking more dried out since the visit. my mom's friends had left a good 30 minutes ago they stopped by to see what is going on and to socialize of course, seeing the Bed I Made Chubbs they said goodbye to him and gave him a abundant amount of lovins. Around 10:05 p.m. I had got everything ready for bed and I gave chubbs a hug and kiss, telling i loved him before i went to bed. But what I didn't know that would be his last goodbye… October 16th 5:15 a.m. My mom woke me up and told me the news.. Chubbs has passed away. As she spoke those words it struck me like a bullet into my heart, Shattering my emotions like a glass mirror. after she had said that I quickly rushed into the kitchen. and I saw the lifeless corpse of my beloved cat. My first instinct was to take a picture with my Ipod, doing so I have took the picture and put the device away. Coming back to his corpse it struck me harder than a glass window being struck by a hammer.I got on my knees my face covered by the cold hard truth of what I had happened. being thrown into a pit list void of isolation depression, I didn't know what to do. only had one instinct to do which was cry. my parents also being shocked of the passing hugged each other in remorse. The lesson i've learned is that don't be attach yourself to someone to long. I have been hurt to long . This is dedicated to my first cat
Times haven’t been doing all too well recently. The crops are drying up, we can barely feed the chickens and livestock, and we are running low on resources. Momma and Papa are saying that there’s no more money, so we have to use everything like it’s our last time using it. Every night I hear them talking, and it sounds like they’re extremely worried. Papa keeps saying something about going away, but Momma starts crying, and I can’t hear the whole conversation. I remember a couple of years back when everything was fun. During the 20’s, we all had fun. We played everyday, got new toys and clothes more often, and the crops were selling amazingly. Then that stock market crash I keep hearing about happened just after my birthday messed everything
Throughout 2013 my mom and dad just couldn't seem to get along. I knew everyday when my father would get home from work; it was about to be World War III. Their relationship became more and more toxic. My dad, who I once loved and adored, became someone I didn't even know anymore.
As I approached my mother she was heart broken she kept saying that it’s going to be alright my father was hurt holding all of us my whole family was in shock because out of all the people my brother hung around and all the people in his circle who would’ve thought he would be the one to die. My father felt like all of the sins he committed karma didn’t hit him it hit his son you see my brother passed away on father’s day and that made my whole family different it made me and my little brother get closer we would always fight. The media and the school showed up like 3 days in a row to speak with us I did not want to speak because of the circumstances the way I seen it was that nobody cared about us and they didn’t feel our pain at all, during the time I felt like I had nobody I stayed in the house for about two months I didn’t eat or anything for a
Austin and I became fast friends and eventually became a couple. I thought that “love” was what I needed. Maybe if I love him, I will learn to love myself, and if I loved myself maybe I could convince my guardians to love me as well. Despite my efforts, things at home were getting harder. My guardians were becoming more and more angry because I was changing. I became passionate about music and certain types of shows that they didn't approve of, and they found more reasons to punish me for it. I was always grounded, always being yelled at. We no longer had even the slightest amount of conversations and they would often tell me about how they were disappointed in me for a number of different reasons. They especially disliked Austin, or at least the way he was influencing me. Yet he stood by me and held my hand when I felt like my world was caving in. He refused to let me forget about my quest to find myself, and the more we stayed together, the more I started learning to love myself. Throughout Junior year I realized that the only thing holding me back from finding the acceptance I had been searching for, was the family I lived with. The ones who were supposed to love me no matter who I was. My Grandma saw through the secrets and knew how my guardians felt about me, and one day I finally broke down. “They say they love me,” I cried, “but they only love me because I’m their
Today was like all the morning having to get up with of yelling and screaming of my parents downstairs. I was tired I usually got up go downstairs and they would be quiet so that I wouldn't notice. How pathetic I thought they try so hard for me not to listen to them yelling all the time, but I can and I do hear them. When I wake up in the mornings I do, when we go to school I do, when I get picked up from school, while I do homework, we have diner, and I fall asleep with them yelling at each other. They will never change. But today was going to be different. I got ready for school got my breakfast, and waited in the car. My father got in second while my mother closed the door of the house. I put in my headphones and blasted them
My parents are like two equally charged magnets pushing each other away. I hear the birds laugh and chatter with each other outside and I am lost in thought. I always space out like this. After we are done with the food we sit down on the couch, all four of us and eat ice cream. Moose tracks. Yes! my favorite, and we watch TV. The 44 minute episode ends. My parents share a small glance, look away and start to talk. With sadness in her eyes my mom says “Kids, you know that we love you very much.”, “yup.” i say, and my stomach is full of rocks. My first thought is that someone died, as I always think when there’s that tone in my mom's voice. “Well, there’s something we need to tell you. This may be difficult.” “ok” i say “Then just tell us.” My brother looks impatiently around the room. “ Um well your dad - uh - tyler is going to be living somewhere else for a while and-” “We’re splitting up.” my dad cuts her off. I feel the earth drop under my feet. My whole entire life i have lived in fear of this moment. This is the worst feeling ever. I am shocked for a small moment and then my feelings come knocking at the front door. I taste a salty waterfall as the news starts sinking in. Then, I see my mom and dad are crying too. This was the first time i had seen my dad cry. All of the sudden, Zak stands up and storms out of the room. I hear a door slam, BANG and i
When thanksgiving had come around, we left to a cabin in Hocking Hills for a week. My grandparents, Tom, me, my sister, and my mom all went together and it was large enough to fit all of us. Now letś backup a little bit, at this time my dad, Adam had developed Pancreatitis. This is an inflammation and scarring of the Pancreas. Leads to severe vomiting, nausea, severe weightloss, weight gain, and death. Some patients develop multiple total organ failure. In the time my dad was in the hospital we grew closer than we ever had been, and I can now say my dad is my rock. He is my light in the darkness. I have become very defensive of him. Back to the cabin. My mom and sister were doing each others hair when I walked in for a towel. Julie made a comment about my dad, and I fired off instantly and lost my cool. Screaming ensued, along with threats and name calling. Thirty seconds later I told them I was moving into my dads. I had wanted to move in with him a long time, but it was also a choice I always pondered at first. Was I really ready to leave a part of me behind? Was I ready to turn my back on those I had once called family. In the time following the events at the cabin, I learned many things about my Mom and
