Summary: The Scarlet Ibis is a powerful story of life and love.
Review: "The Scarlet Ibis" is one of the most intricately layered yet amazingly simple stories ever written, and the most powerful book I've read. It makes a great prose/poetry piece for an avid Speech student(me). A very sad and shocking story, but its message is one that needs not be ignored.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: If you have children that Torture each other...
Review: ...slip this book onto their pillow. Like the many others on this page, I've searched for this story since high school. I wanted my little sister to read it now that she is older. I identified with the older brothers lack of patience and frustration with his little brother. I could recognize the same misplaced anger in myself toward my sister, 7 years younger than I. She is not handicapped but my impatience with her 'immaturity' (and mine, I might add) made me treat her cruelly. Having said that, the ending of this story tore my heart out, to identify so closely with a characters emotions and motives and have them lead to such a drastic end. When I finished crying, I saw my sister differently.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: After the Story
Review: After I finished reading the story i found it's kind of boring but at last it was sad at the end. The ending was really supprise. I never thought that Doodle was going to die, because they had so much fun, some many great things they had done together. How could that be the ending for this story after everything is going so smoothly? the author of this story should make a new and happy ending for this story... but ... HE'S DIED!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Review of "The Scarlec IBIS"
Review: After we read the story, "The Scarlet Ibis". We found out that there's a deep meaning behind the story, and welearned a lesson from it. Now, we know that everyone can do whatever a person wants everif that person is not normal. We should never try to change something that's from natural. Feel proud abour the things came from natural and never be ashame about being different. Always walk around in the other person's bady before judge that person and make changes on then.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: most touching story i have ever read
Review: altough a short story it has a hidden meaning about friendship between two brothers, a brother is ashamed as he is well and up but has a handicapped brother.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Predictable, but I loved it anyway
Review: From the first sentance, you know the outcome. But what keeps you reading is the author's wonderful ability to write about such a hard subject. The writer writes with such passion that you wonder if this story has been based on true experience.

We just read this story for Honors English, and when I was finished I found myself crying. The symbolism in this book is a bit heavy for children, but it's a deeply moving story. The story is about a little boy who has been wishing for a younger brother. But when he comes, he's not what he expected. The unnamed author's younger brother is nicknamed Doodle and he is physically handicapped.

The incredible life force this story carries is just amazing. This is the sort of story that makes you feel everything ten times more. When I set down the story, I thought about it for another hour, seriously. It is such an amazing story and you cannot go through life without reading this book!

I propose they make it into a movie, a good one hopefully, because I kept invisioning cutie pie Frankie Muniz as Doodle. Anyways, read this story because it will change your view on everything, definately!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I can't really express my comments about this classic short story. So I would like to express it through a poem I wrote after reading this book. Hope you understand it!

The Greatness and Pride, That now seems of Life and Death, With only its Scarlet Ibis, Of seedless vines, In its Forever Rain.
