Do You Judge Book

The short story “The Scarlet Ibis”,by James Hurt is about two brothers, the older one being the narrator and the younger one named Doodle, which is physically disabled. The older brother was thirteen when Doodle was five. Thus, the older brother wasn’t actually old enought to take good care of him yet. Doodle’s older brother took care of him more than his parents did. The film What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, by Peter Hedges is also about two brothers, the oldest being Gilbert and the youngest being Arnie, which is mentally disabled. Gilbert took full responsability for Arnie even when he got in trouble.This is because his mother is obese, she is unable to be a mother to Arnie, she can barely walk, and can’t go up the stairs to her room. The older brothers tell their story. They mostly talk about the relationship with their younger brothers, which involved kindness and cruelty. Siblings tend to be harsh and amiable at the same time, in the following paragraphs the kinship among the two brothers in each story will vary.

How does this story impact your life with your input with the siblings or your own siblings? Did it open your eyes a little bit to how you treat them? The brother was stronger than Doodle. The brother had taken it upon himself to help Doodle become stronger before school started. In the scarlet Ibis, the brother was a good brother because he helps Doodle walk and opens him up to the idea of trying new things, he messes with Doodle but he doesn’t mean to hurt him, and his behavior with doodle after he walks is a lot better. The brother was a good brother because he helps doodle walk and opens him up to the idea of trying new things.

I think that the brother does not understand the severity of his brother issues. He

“Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk” (Susan Scarf Merrell). Merrell, an American author and a creative writing and literature teacher at Stony Brook Southampton, states that since the early days of your youth to the end of our story our siblings are there throughout our whole journey. Life is similar to a play; parents pass away during the first half; while one’s children come in during the second half; but siblings are there throughout both acts. Tobias Wolff’s, The Rich Brother, portrays the relationship between two brothers that are complete opposites; yet they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else will ever be able. The Rich Brother describes a complex sibling relationship that is fairly common in today’s society; Tobias Wolff makes use of pathos by incorporating real life sibling abuse; and ethos in his own life and credentials.

I am not like other people where I’ve had difficulties with my family but I have had one major struggle that has impacted my life. It did not affect me for just one summer it will be affecting me for the rest of my life. The exceptional hardship I have had was when I broke my leg in five places and had to overcome the difficulties of getting better. It was such a difficult experience because it affected my love of playing basketball. However, that experience led me on my path in pursuing a career in Sports Medicine. Breaking my leg was awful but it helped me think about what I wanted to study when I go into college.

was incarcerated at the age of seventeen years old for armed robbery. He was tried and convicted as an adult due to his criminal activity. At the time I didn’t understand his harsh punishment for his crime but I do understand it now. His actions wasn’t a minor offense; in fact it was a serious offense which could have went south if he would have killed someone. I couldn’t image in a million years that my brother would commit such a selfish and cruel act when he didn’t have a valid reason too. He was raised with both parents in the household with high profile jobs. Thirteen years later, he still don’t understand his reasoning behind his situation. I am proud to say that he is out of prison but is suffering from

Our familial background started with my brother; he is the inspiration of my success and the reason I am daily pressured in my educational life. My brother passed through a difficult stage in life where his diagnosis with depression, social anxiety, and situational anxiety had a toll in our family because it was something we were completely unprepared for then. The worst decision he made was his self-diagnosis to drugs. He became a drug addict to cope with the pain of bullying at school because he was in ESOL and co-taught classes. This was a continuous downward fall for my family over the course of 6 years until it reached its breaking climax when my brother was 22. He stopped taking drugs, saw himself in the mirror, and was unable to recognize whom he was. The realization of not knowing himself overtook him to the point of wanting to commit suicide. My family came together to see what we could do make things better. At 14, I realized that I now had to be the backbone for my family. My parents’ discouragements shadowed me as to follow me with figures of pain. My role in my family changed as well. I was now the sole hope for my family to strive in a foreign country and make a name for ourselves

The love I have for my brother is, in part, a reason I focused so much on being successful, both in school, and in life; I wanted to be the best role model possible. Though having my brother alongside me brought me unquantifiable happiness, the addition of a new family member coupled with my father losing his job made for another period of economic

Some problems just need to be faced, And sometimes it’s not always going to be okay.

People go through life thinking that they understand every person, every situation, and every lifestyle. The fact of the matter is, nobody understands what anyone is going through unless they have experienced it themselves. As children we are taught that everyone is equal and that we should treat each other as such. I am very fortunate to have grown up with the most amazing and supportive parents who had always found a way to make sure I was happy and healthy. Even though not everyone had the same experiences I did, as a child I thought that everyone had both parents and always got the new toy or had new clothes for school because I thought that everyone being equal meant that everyone was as well taken care of as I was. Now obviously as I’ve grown up I have realized how amazingly lucky I am to be so blessed, and that not everyone is as lucky. I feel like trying to understand how other people feel during certain situations would be very hard because I have never had anything really that bad happen in my life.

As a child, I was not very fond of books, especially picture books. It is not that I did not enjoy reading; it was the fact that the children’s books were always predictable. Most children’s books reflect on the idea of good morals. Although books are a good source for educating the youth with good morals, I became disinterested with the redundant themes. As I mentioned before, reading the same themes makes most children’s books predictable and boring. In addition, I was not very fond of children’s television shows because once again the main ideas were always a deliverance of a humdrum routine of good morals demonstrated in a simple story outline. There was one television show, however that has impacted me throughout my youth and it was called The Nanny. “If we don 't empower ourselves with knowledge, then we 're gonna be led down a garden path.” (Fran Drescher, Fran Fine, The Nanny). The television show was filled with heartbreak, amusement, and the capacity of demonstrating a life lesson that I could soon apply as I grew older.

Many people feel that you can tell a lot about a person by observing what they wear and what they eat. This is not the case. Choice of clothing and eating habits, in no way, allow you to pass judgment on a person. Judging people based on these factors is extremely shallow. What one wears and eats in no way depicts character, behavior, or even intelligence. One simply cannot know a person by looking at them and observing what they eat. Such a thought is ridiculous.

My brother is not just someone I share blood with but someone I can rely on and look up to. Patrick, my seventeen year old brother, has been by my side since I was a little baby. My youngest memories are of Patrick and I running around in our backyard laughing. As he grew older, I began to look up to him. He was everything I aspired to be: intelligent, passionate, and athletic. Patrick always seemed to know what he wanted in life, and I admired how he chased down his goals. There were points in my life when I was very unmotivated, especially when I was seven years old. Insecure and unsure, I did not believe in myself from a very young age, and Patrick was there for me when no one else was. He made me believe in myself and my own abilities above anything else. I have my big brother to thank for finding the strength to persevere through my struggles and overcoming my obstacles.
