THE SCARLET IBIS

GREETINGS MY FRIENDS. TODAY WE ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE "SCARLET IBIS" A SAD AND TOUCHING STORY THAT EVERY BROTHER AND SISTER SHOULD READ. THE STORY DON'T ONLY APPEAL TO THE HUMANISTIC SIDE. ITS HARD TO BE THE OLDER BROTHER AND IT IS EVEN HARDER TO BE THE OLDER BROTHER OF A YOUNGER SICK CHILD. A STORY FULL OF TRAGEDY AND PRIDE THAT MIX WITH THE IRONY CAN ONLY MAKE YOU THINK IN HOW HORRIBLE HUMANS CAN BEHAVE AND HOW CRUEL KIDS CAN BE. THE SYMBOLS OF THE STORY IS THE SAME NAME OF IT, A DEAD RED BIRD ITS THE SYMBOL OF A TRAGEDY AND DEATH. WHEN THE DREAMS FLY IGNORING PEOPLES BELIEVES AND THEN WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE MAJESTY OF ITS COLORS AND THEN THEY FALL AND DIE.

WRITTEN BY JAMES HURST, A SHORT STORY THAT SIXTH GRADERS SHOULD LEARN AND EVERYONE THAT HAS A BROTHER OR A SISTER SHOULD KNOW.
