<span>In the poignant short story 'The Scarlet Ibis' there are two small brothers. One has special physical needs and the other brother doesn't. This brother refuses to accept that his little playmate will never be able to join in with his games in the open freedom of the countryside, so he decides to spend every spare hour teaching him to play and run. Sometimes he teaches him a little too hard and the little boy becomes exhausted. The tired and weary bird which lands on the tree in the yard foreshadows what will happen to Doodle - the Scarlet Ibis drops exhausted from the tree - the shape of his gangly useless legs and the blood red echoing the way poor little Doodle will die. Guilt is an important theme so look for that.</span>
