The importance of symbolism in James Hurst's The Scarlet Ibis is how the Scarlet Ibis represents Doodle small and no strength to protect itself.
The definition of symbol is something used for or regarded as representing something else often something immaterial.
The scarlet ibis is a tropical bird which represents Doodle. The story symbolizes the little brother being the scarlet ibis. Him being fragile and harmless just like
the bird. The younger brother Doodle couldn't walk so his brother pushed and pushed him even though he couldn't walk perfectly he still could walk.
The story focuses on the troubled relationship between the two brothers the narrator and his mentally and physically disabled brother Doodle. A scarlet ibis, an exotic bird landed in a tree in the family garden.
This memory sparks off in doodle's Brother's mind when Brother was six years old. Nobody expected Doodle to live except Aunt Nicey who delivered him. Doodle is a disappointment to everyone, particularly to his brother
who wanted a sibiling he could run and play with not a brother like doodle that couldn't even walk.
This is a story of discovering self because Doodle discovers the abilities he has to walk and his family won't have to think he is a burden to the family
and his brother can finally get the wish he wanted, To be able to run and play with his brother. What I discover about myself is that even though a person has a disability you can
still help that person to overcome it.
