Some of the similarities include -- bird is different from other birds in the area (Doodle is unique); bird is ill (Doodle has been getting more and more ill right before this); bird was traveling in a storm (Doodle is later in a storm); bird dies (Doodle dies); bird is brilliant shade of red (Doodle later has bright red on his shirt from blood); bird found under tree (Doodle found under bush). Seeing Doodle as like this beautiful, fallen bird is how the narrator sees Doodle in present day (long after Doodle has died), and it shows us that he is truly seeing the beauty of Doodle and seeing Doodle for who he is (instead of his physical limitations); also Blood: represents the scarlet ibis and the guilt the narrator feels for Doodle's tragic death<span>What would be considered </span>
