No, Doodle was not able to walk by that time. This is how Brother was able to force Doodle to touch the coffin even though he was afraid to. Brother pretended to leave when Doodle refused to touch the coffin but pleaded with Brother not to leave him. If Doodle had been able to walk, he would not have been so dependent.
becaus doodle is invalid and his brother runs faster then him, he didn't want to wait for him and both die
Doodle's brother cried at Doodle's death and covered him with his body to protect him from the rain. He cried because he realized that he had pushed Doodle to hard for his (Brother's) own selfish reasons. The irony is that Brother's actions toward Doodle when Doodle died are just like Doodle's reaction toward the scarlet ibis when the scarlet ibis died.
Brother runs off and leaves Doodle during their final outing because he is frustrated and embarrassed by Doodle's limitations and their surroundings. As Doodle struggles to keep up, Brother's impatience overwhelms him, and he seeks to distance himself from the burden he feels. In a moment of anger and selfishness, he abandons Doodle, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. This act symbolizes Brother's internal conflict between love and shame.
Brother became remorseful that he had pushed Doodle far beyond his physical limits to the point where Doodle dies. Brother probably realized that he pushed Doodle too far out of his own selfish reasons rather than just a desire to help him. He was also sad that he was angry at Doodle for not meeting the goals of physical improvement they had set and that is why Brother ran away forcing Doodle to over exert himself trying to keep pace. Brother cries over what has happened and at last protects Doodle by covering him from the falling rain.
Doodle' Brother was ashamed of Doodle through out the entire book so when Doodle couldn't finish the goal that his brother set for him his Brother was so ashamed that like a child ran away from Doodle. He did not intend to kill Doodle though
Brother wanted Doodle to know that he was very close to death when he was first born so he showed him the coffin that had been made for him. Brother also instilled a fear in Doodle that Brother could leave him helpless at any time unless Doodle did what Brother wanted him to do.
The climax is when Brother picks up Doodle's drooping head only to have Doodle's limp body fall backwards and Brother realizes that Doodle has died most likely because of all the physical exertions he put Doodle through because he was too proud to have an invalid for a brother.
in the Scarlet Ibis, Doodle's brother is mad at him and as the thunderstorm starts to come in his brother runs fast knowing his brother is incapable of keeping up. Doodle yells after him " Don't leave me brother, don't leave me." He picks up his pace and the Storm came harder, his brother ran back to get Doodle but it was too late. His brother noticed he was bleeding in the mouth. he became too cold and the doctor told the family he can not be too cold or warm.
Doodle's brother's name is never mentioned. When Doodle addresses him, he simply calls him "Brother."
the brother tried to change doodle cause he wanted him to be normal
Doodle is trying to be normal to please his older brother who wants a brother with whom he can run, swim and play, not an invalid like Doodle. The brother is also embarrassed to have an invalid brother. The brother decides to teach Doodle to be normal, because Brother tells Doodle he shouldn't be different from everyone else in school. When Doodle asks if it's important, Brother tells him it is. Doodle is afraid of Brother leaving him behind so he willingly agrees to learn these things even though no one thinks he can.
