"Doodle" is a term used to describe a simple drawing or sketch, whereas "The Scarlet Ibis" is a short story by James Hurst that explores themes of pride, perseverance, and the consequences of cruelty. The two are different in terms of format and content, with one being a drawing and the other being a literary work.
Doodle is the most dynamic character in the story, since he provides most of the plotline. The narrator (brother) would probably not be considered the dynamic character, although he has an important role.
the protagonist would be the narrator because he drives the story forward by pushing Doodle to be a normal brother. Also it can be proven because he changes the most from a selfish brother who wants Doodle to be better for his own good, to a person who later cares for Doodle and realizes the evil in pride.

The three tones found in "Scarlet Ibis" are guilt, directness, and accusative. More tones exist in the story, but these are the most defined that tie in with the central theme.

i think the major theme of this story is brotherhood, for the writer is trying to express how brother's love each other but this love is masked with both cruelty and pride.Brother's love for Doodle is bound up with cruelty and shame. Doodle, for his part, is strongly attached to, and reliant upon, Brother and his main ...fear is of being left alone by him. He is terrified at Brother's threat to leave him.The Scarlet Ibis" explores the conflict between love and pride in Brother's relationship with his physically and mentally disabled brother, Doodle. Brother loves and appreciates Doodle, as can be seen in the incident when the brothers fantasize about living in Old Woman Swamp, when Brother is overwhelmed by the beauty of the images that Doodle conjures up. Love is accepting and compassionate in its nature. But Brother's love for Doodle is challenged by two very human failings: pride, and the cruelty that results from it. Brother feels embarrassed and ashamed of Doodle's limitations and obvious differences from other people. They threaten his sense of pride. now we see that conflict between love and pride is also a major theme
It is not told how old the narrator is when he begins the story; however it can be inferred that he is a grown man and he is reflecting a moment in his childhood where he would miss his younger brother the most.
"The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst is set in the early 1900s, most likely around the time of World War I. The story takes place in a rural Southern town during this time period.
The first person point of view is used to emphasize the theme, tone and mood of the story. One theme of the story is the narrator's regret over his pride and selfishness in his attitude toward his brother. The story begins with the narrator thinking back with a feeling of regret to the circumstances surrounding his brother Doodle's life and death. In the story he admits to this selfishness and pride. Since it is his own admission it carries more weight than if a neutral observer gave an opinion that the narrator had acted out of selfish motives. Both the tone and the mood are rueful, regretful and guilt laden. These could be conveyed to the reader only by the person who had those feelings.
