what does the imagery in the passage show about
doodle?
he has many talents, including singing and
gardening.
daddy, mama, and i went back to the dining-room table,
but we watched doodle through the open door. he took
out a piece of string from his pocket and, without
touching the ibis, looped one end around its neck. slowly,
while singing softly "shall we gather at the river," he
carried the bird around to the front yard and dug a hole
in the flower garden, next to the petunia bed. now we
were watching him through the front window, but he
didn't know it. his awkwardness at digging the hole with
a shovel whose handle was twice as long as he was made
us laugh, and we covered our mouths with our hands so
he wouldn't hear.
-"the scarlet ibis,"

o he thinks that the scene is funny and tries not to
laugh.
o he is afraid that he will catch a disease from the
bird.
he cares about giving the bird a proper burial.

After reading the passage, we can see that Doodle is very caring and selfless, so ideally, the answer would be "C. He cares about giving the bird a proper burial."

I'm sorry if this is incorrect. Have a great day.

He cares about giving the bird a proper burial.

Explanation:

James Hurst's short story "The Scarlet Ibis" is the story of William "Doodle" Armstrong, the younger brother of the narrator addressed only as "Brother". Doodle had some physical disabilities that made him unable to perform certain things but he had a high intelligence capacity which covers up for the physical deformity.

The passage is from the scene where Doodle had found a scarlet ibis in the family garden. The bird had dropped dead and Doodle decided to give it a proper burial. Added to the burial, he couldn't properly use the "shovel whose handle was twice as long as he was", but still managed to bury the bird. This sensitivity to even think of giving a simple bird a proper burial shows his soft sided nature. He cares about giving the bird's proper burial.
