“The Scarlet Ibis” evokes many different emotions from the reader. For me the brother admitting he was ashamed of and sometimes mean to his disabled brother is the most interesting of these emotions and they are very well explained and therefor tolerated and understood by the reader. When we first hear of the older brother in the story feeling this way and treating his brother badly at times we think he must me bad for thinking this way but after reading the story we realize that had he not felt this way Doodle would have never lived the life he did and never experience life like he did with his brother. Because Doodle’s brother was ashamed of his disability, he was more determined to help him overcome it and while it seems bad to be ashamed of someone it was necessary in this situation and in the end beneficial.
