How Do Authors Create Empathy.


The ability to understand through imagination into the thoughts or feelings of another person. Authors have a very good way to show empathy in there writing. The author Deborah Ellis shows many different empathy examples in her Writing. When I Was reading the book The Breadwinner i felt empathy on many different parts.


Another way a writer can create empathy is describing the situation and feelings well. Whenever I feel empathy from a book, it's usually because it is a very well written book. The writing has to be descriptive so the reader can fully understand it and picture it in their mind. For example, when Parvana's father came home, Deborah Ellis described Parvana's emotion on how she felt about her Father who is coming home. She used lots of description, and I could imagine what Parvana was feeling because of how many adjectives and adverbs she used.


So finally I think empathy is always going to be in books no matter what book or passage it is in. Weather it is in a book, magazine, or comic book feelings in books are always going to be there.Empathy is everywhere all you need to do is look. Empathy is a great way to make your book interesting so whenever you are writing you should always try to add feelings and emotions to your book.

How Would You Feel?


Imagine that you lived in a world were you had to cover up your body every were you went. If you wanted to simply get some fresh air and have a short walk around the neighbourhood you had to Ware a heavy hot burqa. Well I couldn't even imagine living in a world tat you had to be forced to do things you really dont want to do. Well In Afghanistan all women are forced to do horrible things.


They are not allowed to go out side with out a burqa, they are not allowed to even pick there husbands. There are many storys of young teen aged girls marring men who are 35 to 40 years old. Also women are not allowed to vote so they have no say in who runs the country. It is extemely sad, horrible and discriminating towards women's rights. I hope in a couple of years the taliban is gone forever.


Life would not be a very fun place for a Afgan women and if I was one it would be very different to how women are treated in Canada. In Canada women are allowed to vote, be free and go out side without a burqa. Waring a burqa would change my life drastically. I cant even believe how women suffer so much and just except it. It would make me very angry seeing all the other women in different country's so free and having to not ware a burqa. Now you decide is the burqa good or bad.
