What do Doodle's repeated pleas of "Don't leave me
foreshadow?
Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
Doodle was frightened of being left. "Don't go leave me,
Brother," he cried, and he leaned toward the coffin. 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
Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and
carried him down the ladder, and even when we were
outside in the bright sunshine, he clung to me, crying,
"Don't leave me. Don't leave me."
Once the narrator returns to school, he leaves Doodle at
home and forgets all of his plans to help him.
O After Doodle refuses to touch the casket, the narrator
refuses to help Doodle and leaves him alone in the loft.
Later in the story, the narrator races ahead and leaves
Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm.
When Doodle struggles to learn to walk, the narrator
leaves and Doodle is left sitting alone in Old Woman
Swamp

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
