9. Group Discussion Scarlet Ibis Get into your 4 person groups and discuss your answers. Each person needs to fill out a symbolism chart based on their questions. Use your group to help you fill out the symbol of the Ibis and its relationship to Doodle.

11. Why Symbolism? All figurative language and stylistic devices are used to help convey the theme of the story. If you cannot figure out what a symbol stands for, think about the controlling ideas of the story, and your theme will lead you to understand the symbol.

12. What does the scarlet ibis stand for? The bird is a rare, beautiful thing that is destroyed when it is blown out of its natural habitat. Doodle is also a rare, beautiful thing that is destroyed when his brother tries to make him do things he cannot do. On a more allegorical level, both Doodle and the bird are symbolic of countries at war, who are destroyed when they try to control one another.

13. Other Symbols in the Story: The screech owls: in many cultures, the cry of an owl is an omen of death. The casket: obvious death symbol Wreaths are circles of plants or flowers that symbolize the circular nature of life, ending with death. They are often used to mark graves. The storms that blow the bird off course and cause Doodle’s death are symbolic of fear and chaos.

14. Allusion Allusions are references to cultural things like history, other literature, or even popular figures. Authors expect the readers to know what they are talking about when they use allusions. Allusions are often hard for readers to identify and understand because, especially when we read older works, we do not share the cultural, historic and literary knowledge of the writer.

15. Why use Allusions? Historical and geographical allusions help to set the scene – by telling us that the family talked about battles in WWI, we know the time period of The Scarlet Ibis. By mentioning President Wilson, we know that the story takes place during his administration Religious allusions help us understand a character’s belief system, which in turn helps us understand his or her actions.

16. Other Allusions in The Scarlet Ibis “Of course, he wasn’t a crazy crazy like old Miss Leedie, who was in love with President Wilson...” (IR169). President Woodrow Wilson was the US President from 1913-1921 (During World War I) “And during that summer, strange names were heard through the house: Chateau- Thierry, Amiens, Soissons, and in her blessing at the supper table, Mama once said, ‘And bless the Pearsons, whose boy Joe was lost at Belleau Wood’”(IR177). These place names are references to World War I battles.
