The Scarlet Ibis" is a reflective story. It is told from a first-person point-of-view with the narrator looking back into his past. The narrator says, "But all of us must have something or someone to be proud of, and Doodle had become mine. I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death." What is meant by this statement, and how has the narrator’s life been impacted by what happens to Doodle? How does this reinforce the overarching theme? Using textual evidence, write a well-developed, complex paragraph in response to these questions.
