525 Words3 Pages
The story talks about a little boy names William Armstrong but nicknamed doodle and his older brother. Doodle was born with disabilities and the doctors always would doubt that he wouldn't live but every time he would prove them wrong. The narrator is the older brother of doodle and he always would push doodle to learn to do things that normal people can do.
There’s a lot of similarities that doodle and the narrator have in common. One is that when both of them are determined to do something, they try their best to achieve it and strive for it for example from the book when it says “Finally one day, after many weeks of practicing, he stood alone for a few seconds. When he fell, I grabbed him in my arms and hugged him, our laughter pealing through the swamp like a ringing bell. Now we knew it could be done. Hope no longer hid in the dark palmetto thicket but perched like a cardinal in the lacy toothbrush tree, brilliantly visible. "Yes, yes," I cried, and he cried it too, and the grass beneath us was soft and the smell of the swamp was sweet.” Another similarity was they both liked to compete with each other for example in the story “The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run.”…show more content… Everybody thought he was going to die-everybody except Aunt Nicey, who had delivered him.” and the second difference is that doodle is learning to walk to please his brother while his brother wants him to be like everyone else and not be different from other
