Question 4 • FL-1001320-English Honors 1 A

Which excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis” most foreshadows Doodle’s death?

Answer

A

“It looks tired,” Daddy added. “Or maybe sick.”

B

Doodle’s hands were clasped at his throat, and I had never seen him stand still so long.

C

How many miles it had traveled to die like this, in our yard, beneath the bleeding tree.

D

“Dead birds is bad luck,” said Aunt Nicey, poking her head from the kitchen door. “Specially red dead birds!”

Explanation

The ibis’s death foreshadows Doodle’s because the bird’s fate parallels what later happens to him. The phrase “beneath the bleeding tree” also creates an ominous image connected with death. Choice C describes the bird dying in the yard, making it the clearest warning of Doodle’s death.
