I recommend that you read "The Scarlet Ibis"
The Scarlet Ibis is a very moving story.
Its about a boy, named Doodle, who was born invalid. Or "not all there". Doodles brother pushes him to be "Just like all the other boys" This story has a lot of symbolism, and is quite short. Its a quick, and easy read but James Hurst has done an amazing job with it. I really recommend that you read it.

My cousin just read that short story in her text book at school. I didn't know it was a book. o-o;
|
Well its not a book.
But a story. It's very good. ><;; |
It sounds like an interesting read. Thank you for the suggestion! I'll look it up and give it a try :):D

You're very welcome!

I remember reading that story back in 11th grade. The ending always bothered me a bit, but I just couldn't see it happening any other way.
I'll have to reread it sometime soon. Even now while I'm typing this, some of the details are slipping away. |
