Answer:
The narrator sets such demanding goals for Doodle because he wants Doodle to be normal.
Explanation:
"The Scarlet Ibis" is a short story written by James Hurst. The story is about two brothers– Brother and Doodle.
Doodle was an abnormal child in the house, seven years younger than Brother. The narrator puts such demanding goals for Doodle because he wanted to have a normal brother or sibling rather than a brother who is abnormal or crippling. Though the narrator helps Doodle in a way that no one else did, yet this increased his expectation and his high expectation is what led to Doodle's death out of exhaustion.
