What Brother really wants is a "normal" sibling. Thus, he sets high goals for Doodle because he doesn't want a "crippled" brother. At first, this seems admirable because Brother is able to teach Doodle tasks that no one ever thought he would be able to do. But as the time for Doodle to enter school gets closer, Brother's demands become even greater. Brother does not want the other children at school to make fun of him or Doodle. So, he demands too much from his brother and his brother dies of exhaustion.
