scarlet ibis
Throughout the story of The Scarlet Ibis, there is an obvious theme of pride reflected off all of the characters.

One of the most notable acts of pride in the story The Scarlet Ibis was committed by the narrator, and older brother of Doodles. He is highly embarrassed of having an incapable brother who unlike most kids at the age of five, could not walk at all.
