William Armstrong was a little boy full of light, energy and passion. He was burdened by a terrible condition that made him sensitive to the outside world. He had a loving family and an aunt, who wanted him to live as long as possible. Despite having many complications in his daily physical health, he was able to live his life with happiness and love from his family. In William's final moments, he was left behind by his brother in the pouring rain running as far away from his younger brother as he could, only to turn back and find that William, his only brother, had died. The brother should be held responsible for the death of his younger brother. In this case there is a repetitive circumstance of cruelty and abuse that demonstrates that the brother should receive the blame for his brother's death. The testimonies that will be shared by the witnesses represented as symbolism, such as the pillow, the name Scrawl, William's coffin, the dreams, the scarlet ibis and the bloody gum tree, will demonstrate that the accused, the brother, should be found guilty of the death of William Armstrong.

This view led the accused to plot that his murder attempt on his brother had been carried out with cruelty. The first witness presented is the pillow. The brother was 6 years old at the time and his duty as a brother was to take care of his brother and love him. The pillow in this case represents issues of tranquility, silence and love as it is associated with sleep. The brother wanted to manipulate the association of sleep and pillows to make William not only fall asleep, but go away forever; The brother wanted to take away the peace and tranquility from William's life. “It was bad enough to have an invalid brother, but to have one who was perhaps not all there was unbearable, so I began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.” This statement shows that even though his brother had a life, which no one expected, the defendant had already wanted to divulge the future life that William would have ahead of him. In this case William Armstrong is called “Doodle”. The name Doodle presents my second testimony. The name William Armstrong was given to the client to create a bigger name than the person it was given to. This name was given to him out of love and respect and allowed a legacy to be left behind him, as William had surpassed all medical expectations in his life and for the sake of his potential future. The defendant decided to change the situation for him. “Renaming my brother was probably the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle.” The defendant removed the dignity and respect William had for his name, demonstrating not only that he was cruel to his brother, but was also envious of the honor the name gave him. To reiterate the pattern of cruelty that ultimately led to William's tragic death, the defendant once took William to see his wooden coffin. The following scenario is traumatic, especially for a boy. "One day I took him up to the barn and showed him his coffin, telling him how we had all thought he would die..." And before I help you down from the barn, you'll have to touch him." "I won't touch him," he said sulkily. "Then I'll leave you here alone," I threatened, and acted as if I were going down. Doodle was afraid of being left. "Don't leave me, brother..." His hand, trembling, reached out and when he touched thecoffin, he screamed...Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and carried him down the ladder, and even when we were out in the bright sun, he clung to me, crying, “Don't leave me. Don't leave me." The words "Don't leave me" will resonate with the jury at the end of this case. The coffin in this scenarios symbolizes the heart of the Brother. The brother's heart is wooden, brown, as if it has been used and empty for a long time. Remember that the coffin was William's. The brother hoped to have a brother who could do adventurous activities with him. When he was born, the body that was inside his heart coffin; therefore the empty coffin became Brother. He had no one to enjoy and love with, triggering the sadistic cycle of abuse. William had learned to walk thanks to the Brother, but in this case the Brother makes an interesting point. “They didn't know I did it for myself; that pride, to which I was a slave, spoke to me louder than all their voices; and that Doodle only walked because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother.” He didn't teach William to walk because he loved him; The brother taught William to walk on the basis of embarrassment. The next witness in this case is William's dreams. The brother explains that William's dreams were scarier than his. “His favorite lie was about a boy named Peter who had a pet peacock with a ten-foot-long tail. Peter wore a golden robe that shone so brightly that when he walked among the sunflowers they turned away from the sun to look him in the face. When Peter was ready to go to sleep, the peacock spread his magnificent tail, gently enveloping the boy like a bedtime flower, burying him in the gloriously iridescent and rustling vortex.” The boy Peter, the one William lies about, reflects his relationship with his brother. His life, from the moment he was born, was determined by his brother. William dreamed of no longer being the pet in his family relationship. He wanted to be the one to lead his own life and no longer be controlled by his brother. The brother had always decided the amount of freedom William had. William wanted to free himself from the restrictions his brother had placed on him. The next witness is the scarlet ibis bird. In this case, the defendant explains that he saw the bird fall to its death, and then witnessed the same thing when William died. “A white veil fell over the eyes, and the long white beak came unhinged. His legs were crossed and his claw-like feet were gently curved in repose. Not even death marred its grace, for it lay on the earth like a broken vase of red flowers, and we stood around it, amazed by its exotic beauty. “He's dead,” said mom.” William decided to bury the bird and was hit by it. This bird symbolizes the unnatural rarity of the bird. William notes how she is like the scarlet ibis, full of beauty and life, but weak and vulnerable. William becomes vulnerable moments before his death. “The lightning was now close and out of fear he walked so close to me that he continued to tread on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I started running... I started crying, and the tear-blurred red vision in front of me looked very familiar. “Doodle!” I screamed over the pounding storm and threw my body onto the ground on top of his. For a long, long time, it seemed eternal, I stood there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the rain heresy.” William could no longer keep up with the defendant. Because it was the symbolism of the scarlet ibis, placed in territory not meant for someone as vulnerable and weak as him. It was put there by a dominant force of nature, in.
