In "The Scarlet Ibis," the peacock symbolizes beauty and pride. It serves as a contrast to the humble and fragile figure of the scarlet ibis, emphasizing the themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The peacock's lavish appearance reflects the narrator's brother's own sense of pride and determination.
The peacock's tail refers to Doodle's full name as peacock has a big tail according to its body the same way as real name of doodle "William Armstrong " is also very big for him ....so the tail of peacock symbolizes the "real " name of doodle.
Yes, there is foreshadowing in "The Scarlet Ibis." For example, the mention of the "bleeding tree" at the beginning of the story foreshadows the tragic fate of Doodle, the scarlet ibis, and the overarching theme of death and loss in the narrative. Additionally, Doodle's fragile health and the recurring references to his physical limitations also serve as foreshadowing for the tragic climax of the story.

The Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) is a species of ibis that inhabits tropical South America and also Trinidad and Tobago.Adults can be up to 56-61 centimetres (22-24 in) long and weigh 650 grams (23 oz). They are completely scarlet or red, except for the black wing tips. They nest in trees, laying two to four eggs. Their diet consists of frogs, reptiles and crustaceans. A juvenile Scarlet Ibis is grey and white. As it grows, the ingestion of red crustaceans in the tropical swamps gradually produces the characteristic scarlet plumage. The life span of the Scarlet Ibis is approximately 15 years in the wild and 20 years in captivity.This species is very closely related to the American White Ibis and is sometimes considered conspecific with it. While the species may have occurred as a natural vagrant in southern Florida in the late 19th century, all recent reports of the species in North America have been of introduced or escaped birds. Eggs from Trinidad were placed in White Ibis nests in Hialeah Park in 1962, and the resulting population hybridised with the native ibis, producing "pink ibises" that are still occasionally seen.
The doctor's name in The Scarlet Letter is Roger Chillingworth.
Some images are Bothers opening remarks mentioning a bleeding tree that is now gone; the small coffin Doodle's father made; Brother's statement that Doodle's real name (William Armstrong) is fit more for a tombstone than for him; the World War 1 setting in which a local woman's son is killed in a battle; the scarlet ibis that fell dead from the tree; the tree itself being referred to as the bleeding tree; the threatening clouds and storm at the end of the story are all images and symbols of death.
when the bird dropped in their lawn.Other hints at he very beginning when Brother begins telling the story he mentions a "bleeding tree" which once stood near a door to the house, but is no longer there, the coffin that Doodle's father makes when he is first born; and when Brother says that Doodle's real name, William Armstrong, was a good name for a tombstone but not for Doodle.
Yes. Sky, could b a human's name. There is nothing wrong with that. It would probably be a shortening of scarlet. It would go scarlet, skylet & sky. One of my friends is called Sky but her real name is Scarlet. Of course, if you wanted Sky to be the name straight. Then it might get a bit confusing. But you could still do it
