How did the scarlet ibis's death mirrior doodles?

Answer 1

Both the scarlet ibis and Doodle were a long way from home and they were both red (feathers/blood).

Answer 2

The scarlet ibis's death mirrors Doodle's because it highlights the fragility and fleeting nature of life, particularly in the case of those who are different or perceived as weaker. Just as the scarlet ibis died in a storm, Doodle also meets a tragic end due to his brother pushing him too hard to fit in with societal norms, ultimately leading to his premature death. Both deaths serve as reminders of the inevitability of mortality and the consequences of trying to change someone who is unique in their own way.
