Two Questions
Text Evidence: " I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looked very familiar. Doodle! I screamed above the pounding storm, and threw my body to the earth above his."
Explanation: Brother was regretting how he pushed Doodle past the limit which he knew he could go. Doodle had limitations and Brother tried to push them as far back as he could, but this time he had pushed Doodle to far which resulted in the death of Doodle.
