Please give three citations that describe how Brother in "The Scarlet Ibis" deals with pride or self-esteem in this story.

One of the sad aspects of this story is the narrator's
sense of pride as he struggles to cope with having a brother like Doodle. This of course
forces him to try and make Doodle more socially acceptable, so that the narrator himself
would not be made fun of or feel bad for having a brother who wasn't able to do the
things that other children his age were able to do. We see this when he decides to teach
Doodle to walk:

When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed
at having a brother of that age who couldn't walk, so I set out to teach
him.

Note that the narrator
does not teach Doodle for his own good--it is out of his own sense of embarrassment.
This is something that the narrator himself later admits when he and Doodle reveal
Doodle's ability to walk:

They did not know that I did it for myself; that
pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all of their voices; and that Doodle
walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled
brother.

Note how the
narrator admits and recognises that he is the "slave of pride." However, spurred on by
this success, he comes up with a training programme to teach Doodle how to "run, to
swim, to climb trees, and to fight" so that Doodle will be ready for school. However,
after the scarlet ibis incident, Doodle and his brother are forced to realise that
Doodle has failed in the programme his brother has created for
him:

He had
failed and we both knew it, so we started back home, racing the storm. We never spoke
(what are the words that can solder cracked pride?), but I knew he was watching
me, watching for a sign of
mercy.

Unfortunately, it is
the narrator's failure to give a sign of mercy to Doodle because of his own shame that
leads him to desert Doodle to his death. The narrator's pride has been cracked, and he
recognises that no words are able to "solder" that crack together
again.

The tragedy of this story is that the narrator is
unable to accept his brother for the unique and special individual that he is and feels
that he needs to transform him into a more socially acceptable individual because of his
own sense of shame at his brother. It is this that leads to Doodle's
death.
