    The narrator's motivation to help Doodle guided his action by giving him the mental strength to belive that he can teach Doodle to do anything. After he taught him to walk he started talking about the possibilities that he could teach him. If i was int aht situation then i would do the same.

    The narrator's motivation to help Doodle guided his actions by pushing and making him wanting to help him for his own benefit and for not to feel embarrassed by him,so he motivates himself to help him. I think that i would get also motivated just to know that it would make them happy.

  3. The narrator was motivated to help Doodle.The narrator's action was guide,because the narrator was very determined to help Doodle get over his diabilities. The narrator's motivation guided his action to finally teach Doodle to walk and other things. The narrator was also very embarrased of Doodle because of his disabilities,which was another reason the narrator helped doodle.I would be motivated too, if I had to teach or help someone in need or that was in doodle's situation.

    In the Scarlett Ibis By James Hurst The narrator's motivation to help Doodle is over bearing because The narrator pushes Doodle to do what The narrator wants him to because of the embarrassment by Doodle."Once I succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infalliabilty,and I prepared a terrific development program for him, unknown to Mama and Daddy,of course.I would teach him to run, to swim, to climb trees, and to fight. My connection to this is when I tried to push my eight year old cousin to play football and he didn't want to and he end up hurting hisself as a result.

    In the Scarlet Ibis by, James Hurst , the narrator's motivation to help Doddle with walking is because he was embarassed to have a disable brother. As says so , on page 488 "When Doodle was 5 years old, I was embarassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him." I think the narrator was selfish , and he shouldn't have pressured Doodle to do something that he didn't want to do on his own.

    The reason and motivation for the narrator to help doodle is because he was embarassed. In the story the narraror said "I was embarassed at having a brother of that age who couldnt walk, so I set out to teach him pg 488. Doodle was the vortex through out the whole story. I personally believe the narrators motivation was selfish.

    In "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to help Doodle walk guided him to be a guidance himself. In the text, the narrator uplifted Doodle's work ethic with the words "Oh, yes, you can, Doodle. All you got to do is try. Now come on," and I hauled him up once more", just to reassure Doodle that he was capable of doing anything others could. However, Doodle was forced into something he didn't want to do, which was trifling and inconsiderate of the narrator.

    In the story, "The Scarlet Ibis", by James Hurst, the narrator wanted to push Doodle to walk because, the narrator was getting embarrased in front of the boys at his school because, of Doodle's disability."Doodle was five years old when I turned 13. I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him. We were down in Old Woman Swamp. "I'm going to teach you to walk, Doodle," I said. My commentary to this is when I tried to thrust my little brother into Track & Field, but the outcome is that I shouldn't obilge him that hard.

    In Scarlet Ibis' by James Hurst the narrator's motivation to help his little bother to walk is because he is ashamed. "They did not know that I did it for myself;that pride,whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all their voices, and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled bother." So he only helped his bother because he was ashamed of what people thought of him.

    In the story,Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to help him leran how to walk was his own selfishness. The narrator motivation guided his action of hatred toward his brother. For an example the narrator statesthat "the knowledge that our plans had come to nothin was bitter, and that steak of cruelty within me". I believe the narrator's motivation which was to teach his brother to walk because he was selfish guied him in the action of leaving his brother behind.

    In the Scarlett Ibis by James Hurst the narrator's motivation to help Doodle is over stessing the fact that Doodle can not walk and the narrator is just teaching Doodle for his(narrator)own selfish reason. The only reason the narrator is helping Doodle is because he is embarrassed by Doodle as he quoted."They didn't know that I did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother.(PG.1)I would not be ashaned of having a crippled brother because everyone has flaws,Doodle being the way he is, is no big deal to me because if its family the nothing should matter, but the fact that you have a brother or that Doodle is alive untill the end of the story.The narrator failed to teach Doodle everthing so that means he is infallibility to the means that he is a failure to teach a task before time is up( Doodle died).

    in "the scarlett ibis"by james hurst the narrator's motivation is essencial to help doodle walk because without the narrator pushing and motivating doodle,he would still be crawling like a doodle.The narrator pushed doodle all because of his embarrassment of having a disable brother.When he says "They didn't know that I did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother."in page#1, he proves that he was only motivated because he was ashamed of having a disable brother.This motivated the narrator to help doodle to walk and become a better person.I personally think that somebody having motivation from somebody else to do something is the most important part of doing something in life.And also if you want to achieve something very important in life you have to have lots support and motivation.

    In the,"Scarlett Ibis", By James Hurst the narrtor's motivation to help his brother was only because his was ashamed of him, so his actions was hard on his brother,like in the story on the computer on page 1, because he wanted him to walk really bad. He was hard on his brother because he wanted infallibility in teaching his brother how to walk,he did it in a ingeniously kind of way.I think motivation could make anyone be able to suceed in anything but I this case the wrong motivation was used but something great came out of it a boy was able to walk for his 1st time and remember it.

  18. (David Miller 3 period) In the story, the Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, the narrorator becomes more determined to help Doodle after his success with walking. This is an example of motivation to the narrator, because his goal was to teach Doodle how to be normal. However, as soon as he realized Doodle had succeeded in walking, that motivated him to keep ingeniously teaching Doodle. Originally, the narrator was at a evanesced moment of hope, but when Doodle started walking the narrator was encompassed of hope. The way I felt about this event was touched by the perserverence of Doodle. That shows the willingness to succeed.

    In the story the Scarlet Irbis by James Hurst,the narrator motivation helped Doodle because he kept pushing him(Doodle)to walk and be like the other kids so he won't be the outcast because if he didn't put effort or have faith in him he would have still been crawling,but alive.In (line50,51,52)*from the website because I don't have the book.I think without effort you can't achieve anything.

    Well uh, he really forced and pushed doodle to do what he wanted him to do for his own well being. For example, walking."Doodle was five years old when I turned 13. I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him. We were down in Old Woman Swamp. "I'm going to teach you to walk, Doodle," I said."..I think the mean narrator was selfish and only was thinking about his dumb self.

    In the story The scarlet Ibis the narrator motaivation to help Doodle guide his action was for his own selfish needs. The only reason why he wanted to help Doodle was because he did not want people to know that his brother was crippled and he wanted a normal brother. pg. 1 It say They didn't know that I did it for myself, that Doodle only walked only because I was ashamed at having a crippled brother. My comment was that he was selfish and he probaly really didn't care about Doodle.

    In the story, "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, The narrater is detemined tohelp Doodle become successful. I too would have helped Doodle because I would help my brother accomplish a goal. Regardless if other people believe that Doodle couldn't walk, I would prove them wrong. For example, the narrater states
    "I'm going to teach you to walk"
    "I can't walk, brother"
    "Who says so?"
    "Mama, the doctor-everybody" pg. 1This so that the narrater is interested in helping Doodle overcome his disability.I can connect with this because when someone tell you are someone you want be able to do anything you want to prove them wrong because there might be a chance you can prove them wrong.

  26. The narrator was determined to help his brother first he did it for love like when the author states 'There is inside me (and with sadness I have seen it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love.'pg.1.Second was becuase the narrator was embarrassed in having a cripplied brother for example when the narrator stated 'I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him.'pg.1. I would have set out to teach my little brother if he was cripples I would let him be the vortex of my life and I would be determined to do anything possible to help him.

    In the story, "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to help Doodle walk and be like the other kids at school."Within a few months, Doodle had learned to walk well. Since I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility. I decided to teach him to run, to row, to swim, to climb trees, and to fight. Now he, too, believed in me; so, we set a deadline when Doodle could start school.
    (pg.1)" I would have done the same,because if i had a handicap brother and i could help them walk or even talk i would.

  29. In the story, The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, the narrator is motivated and determined to help Doodle walk. The narrator is determined to help Doodle walk because the narrator is worried about Doodle being different from the other kids. The reader knows this because in the story, the narrator says,"......Do you want to be different from everybody else when you start school". The reader understands and can make a connection with this because the reader doesn't want his/her brother or sister to be different from other kids because the reader doesnt want their brother to go through the painful words and embarrassing moments they would encounter during school.

    In "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrators motivation to guide Doodle's actions was that he wanted him to be normal because he was ashamed and embarrassed of him. I don't know the exact quote but the narrator stated it was embarrassing to have a 5 year old brother who didn't know how to walk and had to be carried or pulled in his wagon. If I had a brither like that I wouldn't be ashamed of him, I would love him and be proud of him because he's happy with himself.

    in the story the scarllet ibis the narrator is motivated by his selfishness becuase he didnt want to be embaresses due to his brothers inability to walk.As the story went on i felt as if we all have been embaressed of someone or something that we didnt want to be seen with it. for example the narrator said,"he was a burden in many ways." that told me that he didnt want to be seen with him. what he did was very unhuman meaning that he was heartless due to his selfishness.

    In the "Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrator's motivations to help Doodle guided his actions by raising his belief in his infallibility to teach Doodle how to do all things physical. His motivations caused him to be oblivious to what his actions imposed on Doodle. In the story, the narrator states, "Since i had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility."((pg. 1)I used the internet story) He was saying that teaching Doodle to walk motivated his belief in his inability to fail. The first time I made the "A" honor roll, I felt as if I could do it over and over again without failure.

    In the story " The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst,the narritors motivation to help doodle walk guided his motivation to think about all the things he could teach Doodle that could help him not to have to do stuff for Doodle. I feel the narritor was thinking about how easy it would be if he tought Doodle how to do so many things.

    In this story " The Scarlet Ibis " by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to help Doodle was guided by his embarrassement of Doodle being crippled. The narrator should of had a better reason of helping Doodle instead of being ashamed.

  36. M.Deleon 3rd period
    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrator was embarrassed because his brother Doodle was getting older and didn't know how to walk or stand up. For this reason the narrator taught Doodle how to walk with a Malevolence feeling towards Doodle. This guided his actions by awakening up his maliciousness over Doodle and not caring enough to stop and wait for him when they rushed home because of the bad weather. Proof of what motivated the narrator was when the narrator admitted:"They didn't know that I did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother."
    &
    "The knowledge that our plans had come to nothing was bitter, and that streak of cruelty within me awakened. I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us. Soon I could hear his voice no more."
    Also at the beginning it was very imminent that narrator had done something bad when he stated:"Doodle was born when I was seven and was, from the start, a disappointment."

    Instead of a caring brother teaching Doodle how to walk benevolently the narrator was heartless. He should have thought about his family( mom & dad) if his hatred toward Doodle was so strong! if his infallibility to teach Doodle was benevolent his prodigy would have been very rewarded just to the fact that he was going to be someone very important in his brothers life.

    The narrator's motivation to help Doodle guided his actions by making him wanting to help him for his own benefit and for not to feel embarrassed by his own brother,so he motivates himself to be Infallibility. I think that motivation is the reasons that people do what they do as in being successful.

    In the story "The Scarlett Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrators motivation is help doodle walk. But, in the story it states," Doodle went home to show his parents that he could walk, as his parents were crying." The narrator was crying also. His dad asked," why are you crying?" he replied with no answer. Becuase, he helped doodle to walk so he wouldn't feel ashamed, due to his brothers anability to walk. The way I feel about this mad, becuase he didn't help his brother to help him. He helped him, becuase he didn't want to feel ashamed.

  45. A. Slaughter... In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" the narrator's motivation was to help Doodle be as normal as every one else. This motivaton guided his actions because he was doing it for selfish reasons which made him push Doodle entirely to hard. In the story it states that the narrator was crying beacause they (his family) didn't know he had taught Doodle how to walk because "i was embarassed to have a brother of that age who couldn't walk" and "i only taught him for my own selfish reasons." You can tell Doodle was begining to get tired because he states " i'm to tired to swim today." I feel that the narrator let his thought's and dreams get the most of because he didn't pay attrntion to reality and the fact that Doodle had to many health problems for him to push him like that.

    In the story, " The Scarlet Lbis " by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to help doodle advanced in walking and to help him reach the goals that's possible in his ability. The narrator directed his actions of hatefal ways toward his sibling. I believe that the narrator is like any other brother and brother relationship and the only difference is that doodle disability. The narratoor over all feelings toward's doodle was love but he didn't show it but he still did.

  49. In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" By James Hurst,the narrator was ashamed to have a cripled brother "Doodle" so he was motivated to teach him how to walk, he pushed Doodle to try his best at all times.The narrator's family thought he did a good thing by helping his brother learn how to walk,but he was doing it for his own benefit he was ashamed to have a cripeld brother."They did not kno that I did it for myself;that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all their vovies, and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a cripple brother"(pg489). The narrator had a good motivation to teach his brother to walk, but he had the wrong reason to do so.I personaly think the narrator was wrong to even try to force and push his brother the way he did.

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst the narrators motivation is very important if he was motivated then doodle would still be crawling. In the story the narrator states "I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who didnt know how to walk." pg 484 .That shows that he was motivated to help his brother walk because he was embarrassed at having a cripple brother. When you motivate others that help them so, they would want to try harder and help others

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" By James Hurts, The narrator's motivation to help Doodle guide his actions by the narrator pushing and motivations toward Doodle. When Doodle increased in his walking, the narrator wanted to do more, like run and swim. Little did they kno he was doing it for himself "They didnt know that i did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashmed of having a crippled brother." I think the narator should be ashmed and embarrassed of himself for doing his brother so wrong because of his disablet to walk, run or swim.

    In the Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst the narrator's motivations to help Doodle guided his actions by uprising his confidence to succeed (infallibility) to teach Doodle how to do daily regular physical training. His motivations is caused by his unmindful actions enforce on Doodle. The narrator states,"Once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility and I prepared a terrific development rogram for him."(pg.489) He said that guiding Doodle to walk which motivated his belief to not fail. At the beginning of the school year i thought this school will be hard but my confidence help to not give up no matter what happens to come my way.

    In the story "The scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, the narrator's motivation to guide Doodle is considerate, but pushing. (p488)quotes, "When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him." First of all if a child is five years old, and can't walk, I would think that they would have a certain diability or something, which Dooldle does. I would of thought that if I read this quote before the I actually before I read the whole story. I think that the narrator is right for caring for Doodle, but he is wrong for pushing Doodle to do something he does not want to do.

  57. B.Romero 3rd period, in the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurts, hte narrator trys to motivate his brother by making him believe that he will be able to walk an do other things that other kids his age are able to do. Like in page 489 the narrator wrote that "They didn't know that I did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother." I think it wa wrong for the narrator to have done that because he was ashamed of having a criple brother. He should had thought him to walk because he cared about him and wanted the best for him.

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst the narrator was so embarrased and anxious for his brother to be normal that he pushed Doodle to do something he didnt want to do. He made Doodle walk without thinking of what could come from that. He wanted Doodle to walk but never thought about what Doodle wanted. The narrator taught Doodle how to walk but in the end it wasn`t worth it. I would have put myself in Doodles place before I tried to make him do something and if he didnt want to walk I wouldn`t have pushed him to do so.

  59. (4th Period) In the story "The Scarlett Ibis" by James Hurst the narrator was embarresed to see Doodle walk backwards. So after the narrator taught Doodle how to walk, he was motivated to teach him other things because he wanted Doodle to be normal like the kids he was going to interact with at school. The evidence is (p.489)"Once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own inflallibility and I prepared a terrific development program for him." So the narrator would never give up on teaching Doodle on how to anything. If I had a little brother who would walk backwards, i would teach him how to walk and do everything else without giving up.

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" the narrator help Doodle over come his disability by pushing him to the limit.Also he help him gave him confidence on archiving him to be like any other boy.Like when he thought him to walk the narrator and him became confident on how they did that they try to do more stuff like teaching how to run,swim,and climb.I think that it was good that the narrator try to help his brother Doodle but may have took it to far.

    In the story,"The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst, The narrator pushed Doodle to do things that he was unable to do because he didn't want a mentally and physically challenged brother. He wanted to motivate his brother to do things that was impossible for him to do so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.
    PAGE 1-PG.11."I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him".

  62. O.Robles In the story"The Scarlet Ibis", The author uses motivation to show that Doodle was trying to prove his brother wrong because the narrator was ashamed that his brother was cripled. pg.11"I was ashamed to have a brother who could not walk or talk". I would not have done my brother like that because I know that if I was in the same situation I know that I would be trying to make my brothers feel better about themselves and try to make them know that they are very unique in a different typr of way!!!!

    In the "scarlet ibis" James Hurst.... I say the reason why the narrators motivation to help doodle not be crippled was godd because the narrator just didnt want a cripple brother. the narrator was selfish and just didnt want anyone saying he got a crippled brother.....

    In the "Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst,the narrator's motivation to help Doodle guide his action,was to not be embarrased because his brother was crippled,at birth they were told he was caul and the death was imminent.The narrator was older and popularity now these days is important to him and the people around him.The narrator did not want to be seen with his crippled brother,the narrator had to haul his brother around."Brother don't leave me pleasse don't leave me"(p.1).I would of kept helping Doodle,but not for a reason to not be embarrassed,he would of tried and i would gladly want to help Doodle.

  65. Jose Valentino.The title is the motivation of a character. The narrator's motivation to help Doodle was that he wanted Doodle to be able to walk and talk. Doodle was the narrator's brother so why wouldn't he want to help Doodle. He didn't really like his brother at the begging but at the end he did. " Renaming my brother was probably the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle." If it was me with my little brother I would have done the same thing. Because he's like a part of me.

    The narrator's motivation to help Doodle guided his actions by pushing him for his own benefit and mainly not to feel embarrassed by him,so he motivates doodle for his own benefit. I had made my cousin get in the pool becuase everybody was making fun of him trying to push him in the pool becuase he was scared but i convinced him to get in.

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis", the narrator's motivation to help Doodle was at first for his own selfish reasons. After the narrator helps Doodle learn how to walk, he shows his mother and father and realizes how selfish he's been. I've never been in a situation similar to that but, if I was I would've did the same thing the narrator did; continued to help his brother succeed.

    In the story the Scarlet Ibis the narrators motivation drives him into hurting Doodle and him dying. Evidenced when the narrators helps Doodle then tries to make him do everything then becomes frustated and Doodle dies. I feel that all though the narrator helps Doodle the first time he wrong for to push to do more when he defies the odds in the first place.

    in the story the "Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst the narrators motivation to help Doodle was only because he was ashamed that his brother couldnt do the things other kids could do at such age"I was embarrassed at having a brother that couldnt walk. (pg.1,par.1) I think i would probably feel embarrassed too if one of my siblings had such a condition.

    In the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst the narrator was moved by the way people were treating him because of how he taught Doodle to walk. For example "Since I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility."(pg.1). I was once motivated when I taught this 7 year how to snap a snap.

    In the Scarlett Ibis by James Hurst the narrator's motivation to help Doodle is over stessing the fact that Doodle can not walk and the narrator is just teaching Doodle for his(narrator)own selfish reason. The only reason the narrator is helping Doodle is because he is embarrassed by Doodle as he quoted."They didn't know that I did it just for myself, that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother.(PG.1)I would not be ashaned of having a crippled brother because everyone has flaws,Doodle being the way he is, is no big deal to me because if its family the nothing should matter, but the fact that you have a brother or that Doodle is alive untill the end of the story.The narrator failed to teach Doodle everthing so that means he is infallibility to the means that he is a failure to teach a task before time is up( Doodle died).

    In the story The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst the narrators motivation to show Doodle's infalliblity guided his actions, because the narrator would not let Doodle give up on walking and learn how to be like a normal child because the narrator felt Doodle had much prodigy. If I was in Doodles place I would appreciate my older brother or sister help me learn how to walk.

    The narrator's motivation was feeling embarrassed of having a brother with disabilities. His embarressment led him determine himself to teach Doodle how to walk. The sentence " I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach him."shows that the narrator's motivation was the embarressment he felt for having Doodle as a brother, so the narrator's motivation benifited Doodle because Doodle learned how to walk thanks to the determination of th narrator.

    In the Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst the narrator's motivation to help Doodle kept growing after awhile because the narrator started to inspire himself to teach Doodle more because he had learned to walk. Just like in line one in the Scarlet Ibis, he started to care about Doodle because he had relized what he had actually done for him. So he wanted to teach him more so that Doodle could be like a regular kid. I think that his brotherly help was inspirational, but at the end of the story everything for his brotherly love just vanished.

    In the story,"Scarlet Ivis" by James Hurst the narrator's motivation to help Doodle keep developing his intelligance by his brother's effort to tell him he can do it when nobody thought his brother can walk. "They didn't know that I did it for myself that Doodle only walked because I waz ashamed at having a cripple brother." (pg.1). I like the way the narrator act with his brother, but what dissapointed me was that the only reason he helped his brother was, because he felt shame and embarassment towards him. I like Doodle's insperation to try to learn to walk, an also the way he trusted and admired the narrator.

    The character's motivation is to help him mentally and physically with his own problems and to help other people in the future.Because his brother felt embarassed and ashamed of him because he had to carry him around ever where he went.The narrator i feel that he was a leader but not only was he a big brother but Doodle trusteed him to teach him

  78. In the scalet ibis by james hurst the narrators Motivation is to help doodle walk out of his own selfishness.Like in the story when they said his brother felt embarrased that he had to carry doodle everywhere he went.To me that is wrong. You shouldnt be ashamed of your own family no matter what.He will be there when those people you feel embarassedby will most likely not.

    In the book “The Scarlet Ibis”, by James Hurst
    the narrators motivation guided him into literally forcing his brother doodle
    to learn how to walk. The narrator was tiered of being embarrassed for having a crippled brother, so he forced him to learn how to walk. Doodle was an innocent young boy
    who all he wanted to do was be like the other normal kids and please his brother.
    Every afternoon the narrator would take his brother out to practice walking.
    Doodle would beg him to stop but the narrator never gave up on him, eventually
    Doodle learned how to walk so soon enough he could practice doing what other kids his age would do and stop being an embarrassment to his older brother.

    In the story, “The Scarlet Ibis", by James Hurst, the narrator is motivated by seeing his little brother walk on his own so the narrator wanted to teach him something else. In the story, it quotes that when Doodle learned to walk, the narrator will teach him to run. I think that the narrator's motivation for teaching his brother something new is when Doodle learns how to do something to the fullest.

    In the story "The scarlet ibis" by James hurst, the narrator's motivation was to teach doolde how to walk. The narrator believed that he would successfully teach doolde how to walk no matter what, so he pushed doodle cause he knew in his mind that he can teach doodle and doodle would be able to learn. After hard practicing doodle finally learned if the narrator wasn't motivated then doodle wouldn't had never learned how to walk on his own.

    The narrator's motivation was that he had a brother with disabilities. In page 2 the narrator says "Doodle, don't you want to learn to walk?"
    He'd nod his head, and I'd say, "Well, if you don't keep trying,
    you'll never learn." Basically the narrator got motivated to help his little brother out because of hid disabilities. I think I would've done the same thing if I was in that situtaion.

  84. S. Patrick 3rd period- In the story the Scarlet Ibis, by John Hurst, the narrator's motivation to teach Doodle to walk first stems from shame, then from pride.
    At first he said things such as," I was ashamed to have a little brother who couldn't walk at the age of five," while later he says things such as," I began to believe in my own infalliability." It occurs to me that it was the narrator's pride that caused Doodle's death as the bible says that pride is man's downfall.
