<em>After a brief period of suspense, the will of my mistress was read, and we learned that she had bequeathed me to her sister's daughter, a child of five years old. </em>

Answer:
The contrast between life and death becomes prominent towards the end of the story. This story ending is not a very happy ending but a realistic one. “ 'She gave me a message: she told me to tell you. She told me to tell you that she never was engaged to that handsome Italian. I am sure I am very glad; Mr. Giovanelli hasn't been near us since she was taken ill. I thought he was so much of a gentleman; but I don't call that very polite!’ ” (James 448). This is very sad to hear if you are in Winterbourne’s position. He really loved her and she loved him but she was playing with his heart. Also, the fact that Mr. Giovanelli did not come around anymore shows his intentions were not the same as Winterbourne’s. Love and death is a sensitive subject that shows throughout the story and never fails to add a realness and an emotional standpoint to a story. These contrasts are what makes the story interesting and keep the readers on the edge of their seats. If these contrasts were solved or there were no conflicts would the story be as good? The story would possibly be completely different. If Daisy were not as spontaneous and flirtatious it would be safe to say her and Winterbourne could have had a life together. If American and European cultures were not as opposing would their even be any conflicts to begin with? These questions arise as contrasts are thought of as ideas are contrasted.
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
