Is it the Narrator’s fault that Doodle died? Is Doodle’s death the Narrator’s fault? That answer is yes. If the Narrator didn’t leave Doodle behind and stuck with Doodle and help him get through the storm Doodle wouldn’t have died. Furthermore if the Narrator wouldn’t of kept pushing Doodle to do things he wasn’t supposed to do and couldn’t do, the Narrator wouldn’t of took him out during the storm and Doodle would've never died. Finally if the Narrator wasn’t so harsh on Doodle he wouldn’t of left Doodle behind. If the Narrator would’ve not left Doodle behind, Doodle wouldn’t have died. Leaving your own little brother behind in a storm is a really horrible thing to do and if he ran with Doodle they both could’ve gotten out of the storm alive. …show more content…

The Doctor said Doodle wouldn’t be able to walk and basically said that Doodle couldn’t do anything physical but the Narrator ignored that and wanted Doodle to walk but not because the Narrator wanted to help Doodle but because he was embarrassed that he had a little brother that wasn’t able to walk. If the Narrator would’ve stopped making him swim and run almost everyday for almost no reason, he wouldn’t of taken Doodle out that day when the storm came. If the Narrator wasn’t so harsh on Doodle, he wouldn't of left Doodle. If the Narrator cared more about Doodle and would’ve helped Doodle in the storm, Doodle wouldn’t of died. If the Narrator would’ve been nicer and cared more about Doodle, he wouldn’t of been making him run and do a lot of physical things almost everyday and he wouldn’t of took him out the day Doodle died. It is the Narrator’s fault that Doodle died because the Narrator was harsh on Doodle, the Narrator left Doodle behind in the storm, and it was the Narrator’s fault that Doodle died because he kept pushing Doodle to do things he wasn’t supposed to do and couldn’t

Doodles brother is responsible for the death of his own brother. Three big reasons that led me to believe this is that he always wanted doodle gone from the beginning, he was ashamed and very embarrassed of having a disabled brother, and that he only helped doodle for his own personal benefit. All of those show why he left his brother in that storm to die. From doodles birth his brother never liked him or cared about him and wanted him gone. One example is “i began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.”

There would be many ways that the story would be different if it was told from Doodles perspective. First off instead of Doodle being a burden to his brother, Doodle could think of it as he's able to learn things from his brother and bond. An example of that is when brother was embarrassed that his brother was disabled so he taught him to do the basics. Another way the story might be different is that at first brother didn't want to bring Doodle with him and if Doodle was telling the story maybe he would have wanted to go with him and be with his brother.
