In the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis,” James Hurst indirectly characterizes the narrator as prideful and sadistic through his thoughts and actions, to convey the idea that an excessive amount of pride causes someone to be deceitful, and act for their own personal gain at someone else’s cost. “The Scarlet Ibis” revolves around the narrator, recalling on his past memory of Doodle, his “invalid” younger sibling. The narrator longs for someone to run with, play with, and fight with; a brother to be proud of. However, the birth of a frail and severely disabled younger brother is a disappointment. When the narrator insists upon teaching Doodle how to walk, he slowly begins to feel proud of Doodle and his accomplishments.…

One of the main factors from stress could've easily been fighting and arguments with his gang of Greasers and Socs. On page 131 Ponyboy said "I knew he would be dead because, Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted." In this quote it is saying how Dally wanted to die. There are several reasons for why he might want to die but in my opinion the pressure of Greasers vs. Socs was a component in his death. Stress can very much wear a person down to where being gone may make him feel like it's the only…

A basic human tendency when meeting new people is to automatically assume many things about them just based on their physical appearance. People don’t often consider the fact that a person’s exterior doesn’t have any correlation with their interior. Many people struggle to overcome or ignore this bad habit, for it can lead to the downfall of what might have possibly been a great relationship.

It can even tie in on the factors on who was cast solely by appearance and physical features.…
