Driven by shame at having a crippled sibling,
Brother forms a plan to secretly teach Doodle to walk. Eventually, he succeeds. This
initial success is not, however, enough for Brother, who is determined that Doodle will
not shame him by being seen as different when he starts
school.

Doodle is like his
brother in his tenacity. Doodle is determined he will make his brother proud of him. He
repeatedly tries to walk. Every time he falls down, he gets right back up. He will prove
himself strong in spite of his handicap. In the face of a great challenge, he is
triumphant. He is victorious. He learns to walk and run because he refuses to give
up.

Doodle and his older brother are alike in their
determination. They both prove themselves triumphant. In the face of obstacles, they
refuse to be discouraged. They contribute great strength and their efforts prove
successful.

Doodle and his older brother differ in their
reasons for confronting the challenge of Doodle learning to walk. The older brother is
embarrassed of Doodle's handicap. He does not desire for Doodle to begin school
handicapped. He pushes Doodle to walk so he will not have to face the children at school
with a handicapped brother. His desire for Doodle to walk is motivated by his selfish
image that he must protect.

Doodle is different than his
older brother. He desires to walk to please his brother. He admires his older brother.
He reveres his older brother. Doodle will walk to make his older brother happy. More
than any thing, Doodle wants his older brother to be proud of
him.

Even though both brothers share a common goal which is
teaching Doodle to walk, they differ in their motivation to reach that goal. The older
brother is selfish and ashamed of his handicapped brother. Doodle is selfless and so
proud of his older brother. He idolizes his older brother. The older brother finds
Doodle as a burden, one that he must deal with every day of his life. Doodle just wants
to be with his older brother out of respect and devotion.
