The Scarlet Ibis, Girls, Dangerous Pie, And Doogle's

Many people have shared humanity of relationship, loss, choice, morality, emotional, and survival that they go through. The three stories that have this types of humanity are, “The Scarlet Ibis,” by James Hurst, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick, and How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. This three stories will have relationship, morality, loss and emotions.
The short story “The Scarlet Ibis” shares a perspective of morality, knowing from between right and wrong. Doodle was born with a tiny body, his skin was red. Everybody thought he was going to die, but he survived. Doodle’s brother the narrator, talks about his brother that he wanted to have a normal baby brother. The narrator had a dark side, he hated taking his brother

everywhere he went. He was embarrassed, so he decided to teach his brother without caring the pain his brother was going through.

The narrator only did for himself because he didn’t want his brother by his side because he thought his brother was an embarrassment. Evidence in the short story when Doodle could finally walk, Doodle’s brother decided to show his parents as a surprise, he then starts to notice something, “ “What are you crying for?” asked Daddy, but I couldn’t answer. They did not know that I did it for myself, that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all their voices, and Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother”(Hurst, 2003). The narrator realizes that he did not do it for his brother he did for himself neither for his parents. He shows morality. The selfishness of him, made him think how his brother’s suffrage was going through, but Doodle does not know that. This frustrates me because the way his brother, the narrator, treated Doodle. He

believed that his brother is not human. His brother had to walk and do normal things like run, jump, and play with everybody but his brother was born different. I had hate on the narrator I did not like the way he was treating his brother. But at the same time everybody has morality in them because I can connect to this because sometimes I would also get mad at my brothers.
Another perspective of humanity is relationship, boyfriend and girlfriend, in the book How I Live Now between Edmond and Daisy.

Daisy and Edmond are cousins but they do not see each other like that. They see each other like a love relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend. This show in the story when Daisy had felt for Edmond, “Look at me with a little half-smile and then kissed me on the mouth so gently and sweetly,” (Rosoff, 45). When Edmond kissed Daisy things started to change they started to sneak out at night to get to together, but this never ruined Daisy’s cousins relationship like a family. Her cousins were alright with the relationship. But today in the real world if a cousins gets together to have a relationship like Edmond and Daisy it would be a big problem people will be disgusted and nobody in the real world will disagree the relationship. In my opinion the relationship they had was bad they were cousins but then in the end the author wanted us to have Edmond and Daisy back together again and have a happy

ending.
The last perspective of humanity is loss, losing someone, and emotions, sad and lonely. In the book Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. The loss that was in the book was when the main character, Steven, his brother Jeffrey gets cancer. Steven thinks his family was getting apart, his mother and father were not there for him, his father would work till late to pay off all the bill and Steven’s mother would have to go three or two times a week with his brother for chemotherapy and Steven would always feel lonely. Steven felt lonely because he did not have his brother with him anymore. his brother would always beg him to play with him but since he had cancer, Jeffrey did not have strength, “This was the kid who had spent entire days at time begging me to play Chutes and Ladders with him. And now he was feeling to sick to play with me,”(Sonnenblick, 90). The loss Steven had was not having his family happy together before, and emotion, lonely and sad, Steven wanted a little attention from his parents but they were too busy to understand Steven’s feeling for his brother of sadness.
The three stories, “The Scarlet Ibis,” How I Live Now, and Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. Each stories had their own type of Shared Humanity. The characters all go through, loss, relationship, choice, emotion, survival and morality. Not only in book and short stories the perspectives are also in the real world. People always had good and a bad side. Everybody can connect to the relationship they been through, morality, loss, like death or losing a best friend and emotions.
