How do words and actions influence who other become?

I chose two characters from the "Scarlet Ibis". Doodle and his brother became very close to each other in this story. Since Doodle is crippled his brother is determined to help to to walk. Doodle's brother takes him out to the field everyday to teach him how to walk. Doodle's brother influenced who he became by helping him learn how to walk. Even though his brother pushed him too hard, he still influenced who he became because Doodle did eventually learn how to walk before he died.
