“The Scarlett Ibis” is a great story. At first, I was sad because I knew that I would not like the ending. The first paragraph tells the reader that there will be a bad ending because the narrator is reminiscing. This initially made me apprehensive about what will happen. Once the story began, I began to be happy. There were beautiful moments in the story that made me think about my siblings. Having siblings is a beautiful thing. You do so many things with them. My favorite part was when he told Doodle about the casket. We all do things like that to our siblings. I told my younger brother he was adopted. That is a part that played vividly in my mind. Another part was when Doodle died. It was very emotional. It was like a scene out of a movie. It was crazy how what led Doodle to be greater is also what killed him.
