      In paragraph one Hurst uses language rich with foreshadowing. Consider the connotation of: dead, bleeding, rotting, untenanted, graveyard, and die. Having examined the language of paragraph one, where do you think this story is going? Make predictions. Research what an ibis is and make connections.
  • untenanted
  • graveyard
  • names of our dead
  • time has had its way
  • die
  • But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground away--and I remember Doodle.

      This sentence cues me as a reader to know that this story is being told in FLASHBACK. I need to know who the narrator is and what is his relationship to the story.
  • Everybody thought he was going to die. Daddy had Mr. Heath, the carpenter, build a little mahogany coffin for him. But he didn't die, and when he was three months old, Mama and Daddy decided they might as well name him.

      This is so blunt and maybe unexpected. The coffin and death imagery seem to reinforce the the tone of paragraph one. This seems like it must be foreshadowing of a death to come.
  • Old Woman Swamp, and I wanted more than anything else someone to box with, and someone to perch with in the top fork of the great pine behind the barn, where across the fields and swamps you could see the sea.

      This section gives me more information on setting. I now know that it is near the ocean, swamps--combined with the types of flowers and the fact that the IBIS appears in the tree I am guessing coastal South--maybe Florida.
  • It was bad enough having an invalid brother, but having one who possibly was not all there was unbearable, so began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.
  • because nobody expects much for someone called Doodle
  • I had to pull him around.

      Sounds like he doesn't like to do this.
  • He was a burden in many ways.
  • A long list of don'ts went with him, all of which I ignored once we got out of the house.
  • There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle.

      This passage is sad and tells much about the pride of the Speaker. A tragic flaw perhaps.
  • showed him his casket,
  • His hand, trembling, reached out, and when he touched the casket he screamed. A screech owl flapped out of the box into our faces, scaring us and covering us with Paris green.
  • I was embarrassed
  • very awkwardly, with his head thrown far back, making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim. His little legs, bent sharply at the knees, had never before seemed so fragile, so thin. I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looked very familiar.

      He looks like the Ibis when Doodle discovered it.
