Emphathy

I think writers make people feel empathy by doing certain things when they are writing. Listen to this passage does it make you feel empathy?

"The man put his hand on her shoulder" You seem like a fine boy. I am sorry that I am not your father."

The author writes about something that she knows happens to lots of people. I know that I have walked up to a person before a race and handed my hat to some random guy. It was very embarrassing. It works don't you think if you write about something that is really happening in the world, like living in Afghanistan. I think it is a very good method that she has found because if you relate it to something that kids know about they will understand it. That is how I hink writers make people feel empathy.

I am imagining that I am in Afghanistan and I have to wear a Burqa. I think it would be terrible it would be hard to walk down the streets. Especially in Afghanistan where the streets are uneven. I don' think it is fair to make women in Afghanistan wear burqa's. If I lived in Afghanistan I would definitely not accept it and move on. I WOULD FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS!!!



I don't think it is fair for women of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a nice country and it should not be corrupt from war. Wearing a burqa would make me angry and it would change my lifestyle alot. I wouldn't be able to play sports or have much fun for that matter. I would probably spend most of my time inside so I wouldn't have to wear a Burqa. That is what I think about Afghan women having to wear a Burqa.
