Scarlet Ibis

"Scarlet Ibis" is about a young boy, Doodle, and his brother, James.  Doodle was born "not equipped for this world".  Doodle had development issues, and did not develop like a normal boy.  James was very conscious about his brother not being normal, and because of this James pushed Doodle to gain the characteristics of a normal boy.  James pushed Doodle very hard, and he regrets the consequences.  This relates to culture because James was brought up in a place where being normal was a necessity.  In helping his brother, James realized that urging Doodle to become normal was not worth the consequences.
