Answer:

The narrator sets such demanding goals for Doodle because he wants Doodle to be normal.

Explanation:

"The Scarlet Ibis" is a short story written by James Hurst. The story is about two brothers– Brother and Doodle.

Doodle was an abnormal child in the house, seven years younger than Brother. The narrator puts such demanding goals for Doodle because he wanted to have a normal brother or sibling rather than a brother who is abnormal or crippling. Though the narrator helps Doodle in a way that no one else did, yet this increased his expectation and his high expectation is what led to Doodle's death out of exhaustion.

It can be inferred that when Giver transmits some of his memory to Jonas, Jonas begins to feel some of the pain, Giver on the other hand begins to fell lighter. The above story is from "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.

<h3>What is the central idea of The Giver?</h3>

The importance of memory in human life is one of The Giver's most fundamental topics.

After visiting her aging father, who had lost much of his long-term memory, Lowry was inspired to create The Giver.

The Giver tells the narrative of a civilization where everything looks to be great, pleasant, and tranquil. There is no pain, sorrow, prejudice, bigotry, or anything else. It sounds fantastic, thanks in large part to the Sameness.

Unfortunately, the Sameness did not simply eliminate negative human feelings. The civilization does not know joy, pleasure, or love. In fact, when the people resolved to follow the Sameness, they even forgot about such things.

Jonas learns more about the Sameness and its consequences as he spends more time with the Giver. Jonas finally concludes that a civilization that lacks the ability to experience or recall any form of emotion isn't truly living.

Alisiya [41]
The best answer to the statement given above is option b. false. Most people who become addicted to drugs are NOT able to stop on their own and need outside help. Those people who are addicted to drugs have difficulty to abstain from it because these drugs created an addictive pleasure to the body which makes them crave for it. If the urge is not satisfied, drug users often suffer from withdrawal symptoms. This is the time that they need outside help, that's why they need to undergo rehabilitation.
