The Scarlet Ibis

I believe that the Narrator in the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" is a very selfish person. I believe this because I think the only reason why he wanted his brother to learn to be normal was so he wasn't embarrassed by him. Every day the narrator would take his brother to the Old womans swamp and force him to learn how to walk. Even if his little brother didn't want to or showed no sign of ever being able to walk. I have to say the narrator is a very persistent person. After his little brother finally began to walk the narrator pushed him even harder. he started to make him run, swim, and row their boat to the other side of the water. The story is called "The Scarlet Ibis" because be for the story was over there was an ibis in the front of their house. He look very ill and could not walk. It fell from the tree and soon died. Then the narrators brother buried the bird. The bird is suppose to resemble the narrators disabled brother. The brother couldn't was just as the bird could not fly. They are both different from everyone else of their kind.
