A person should treat others well so they won’t regret it later. In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst a young boy named Doodle, who is suffering from a weak heart is trying to be friends with his twelve year old brother. When Doodle was born the family knew he was going to have a handicap. His older brother was hoping for a brother who he could teach to do things …

Every day a person should tell the people they love that they do so they won’t feel like Doodle’s brother. In general the author used this story to show a person should treat others well, never let an ego get in the way of relationships, and let people know you love them.
