Can you breed 2 dogs from the same father?

It wouldn't be smart because if the have the same father( brother and sister) they would be more likely to have mutations or serious health problems. Like when you breed brother and sister cats they have double paws. I would ask a vet or animal specialest. That would be your best bet.


Can you buy scarlet tanagers as pets?

Yes, but I would not be the one to ask on the requirements for their care. Being an insect-eating bird, it may not be the best species for a domesticated aviary. Information on buying tanagers can be found at singing-wings-aviary.com. They often sell blue, opaline, and yellow-breasted tanagers.

Is The Scarlet Ibis sad?

Yes the scarlet ibis is sad, and is super sad and tear-worthy if you have a little sibling that you can relate to the story. It took me a couple days to get the thought of it happening to my brother out of my mind. Would definitely not reccomend it just because of how sad it is. Especially how the main character, Doodle, cries "Don't leave me big brother" but the narrator, Doodle's big brother, just runs away even though Doodle is crippled and needs extra attention to be safe.


Why did the ibis die in The Scarlet Ibis?

the scarlet ibis is sad because the brother has a brother named Doodle and throughout the story he is mean to him and pushing him harder to do things for selfish reasons. such as forcing Doodle to touch his coffin and teaching Doodle to walk because he didnt want a "crippled" brother. Doodle died at the end of the story because his brother pushed him too hard to do thiings such as rowing and Doodle died. what really broke my heart was whenever Doodle would say,"don't leave me big brother." Doodle was only 6 and his brother found him dead during a storm when he was trying to run away from him.


Why does the narrator feel burdened by Doodle in 'The Scarlet Ibis'?

Brother forces Doodle to touch the small coffin that his father had made right after Doodle was born when he was not expected to live. Doodle did live and the coffin was stored away in a loft.

Is there foreshadowing in the scarlet ibis?

Several events foreshadow Doodle's death. Whenever the color red appears, death is foreshadowed because red is the color of blood flowing out of a body. It is a common literary device. In the story, when Doodle is born, his body is red. There is a "bleeding tree" near the house. The scarlet ibis itself foreshadows Doodles' death when it dies and Aunt Nicey comments that nothing good ever came from a red bird dying. Brother sees Doodle under a red bush just before realizing Doodle is dead. Other events are the gathering storm at the end, because the scarlet ibis died after being blown hundreds of miles out of its habitat by a storm. Doodle's brother makes Doodle touch a small coffin that their father had made when it was feared Doodle would die at birth.
