How do authors try to create a feeling of empathy in their readers

Authors are amazing at creating feelings through words. For a good example the Bread Winner has tons of moments where I felt empathy. How the authors do this is they try to connect you with moments in the book. I think that Authors use parts that relate you to the character the most. If the character has no father and you have no father you understand how they feel this is empathy. Another one is where they put you through similar situations that can really make you feel empathy. We all know that the ways that the authors use will not work for everyone because not everyone lives the same way. Of course it is bound to work for someone there are millions of people on this planet.


Description is another great way to bring empathy upon readers. I think that is true skill being able to transport feelings through words. What I said earlier is description like say they describe the characters life and it is similar to yours you might feel empathy. Once again that depends on the person not everybody feels this as I explained earlier.


So finally I think empathy is always going to be in books no matter what the case is. Weather it is an action, drama, or comedy book feelings in books are always going to be there that's my post.

BURQA GOOD OR BAD???????

I think wearing a Burqa would change everything about your life for example you can't just walk outside and wear your favorite jeans and shirt. It takes all your style and choice away don't forget about you know the whole being wraped in black cloth against your will part of it. I mean iI think its just cruel it limits your vision ( i don't wear one but look at a picture of a Burqa and you will know what im talking about) restricts your movement and a bunch of other stuff. I'm not one hundred percent sure but this is just my opinion. The sad part is that you could get shot just for not wearing a piece of fabric. The Taliban ( what i know so far ) do very violent things if you don't abide by there rules.


Personally I would have mixed feeling if i had to wear a burqa. You have to understand that
it won't change so you have to get over the fact that you yourself may not be able to make a change. You would have to enjoy what you can because the burqa probably will not change. I also understand why you would feel angry I mean you have no choice you are practically there slaves it is totally unfair. You would have to control yourself if you were angry sad you can't make a scene or you could be signing your own death sentence. I find that extremely depressing.



Well in summery I think that wearing a Burqa can have a huge but also small (depending on the person ) effect on everyone. It can make you angry, sad, and even rebellious against those who force the law on you. In the end the Taliban force lots of unfair and cruel laws. We should all think about how lucky we are to be able to raise our voices and make a difference, and wear what we want so lets just all take a minute and really think about just how unfair the laws of the Taliban are. Now its up to you is the Burqa good or bad??

NORVAL

I thought the team building day was very fun. I think my team did very well. we communicated well. we listened and we took action. The one where we had to get a tire off of a wooden post was difficult and took us a lot of time. Near the end we all had said something to contribute. We also gave positive feed back to the people who tried but didn't succeed. finally we tried one last time and the idea was to get one person on someone Else's shoulders and push the tire off from underneath it.

What I believe our team had trouble with was putting other people before us. An example was for one of the low ropes two people didn't get to go. so that is what our group has to work on. Another problem is focusing when we have to. The lady who was our team leader would stand there waiting for us to calm down. well two people to calm down, no offence. By the end we would kind of listen. Eventually we were great and things ran smoothly.

My overall impression of the day is that i think we all learned a little something from the people at the camp. Personally i had fun and i thought it was a great idea ( part of me thinking that is that we got to miss school hehehehehe.) Any way in my opinion the drum circle was the most fun. The guy who was leading the circle was very good at getting peoples attention as said in chapel today (Tuesday.) He was also very good at keeping everyone in one beat. I think everyone had a great time and we all learned a lot about being a team.

Do cloths shape who you are?

In my opinion clothes do not shape who you are as a person.
I think they don't because they are just pieces of fabric made by some person in a factory. It's not like cloths affect your moods. like there is some myths that different colours affect the people around you. For Example apparently orange creates anger but I don't belive that for a second. sometimes it can shape who you are like mabey if you wear light clothing your a happy person.

If your a happy person and you wear happy cloths thats true that it shapes who you are, but it depends on the person himself/herself. you could be extreamly sad but wear bright coloured cloths. One thing that could kind of prove that cloths shape who you are is that what cloths you pick shows your style. Style is only one thing there is a bunch of things that prove cloths do not shape who you are. I will list five things that show cloths do not shape who you are.


1. If someone is really mean to you they can also be wearing hearts on there shirt.
2. A person who is all ways happy might have bad days and go down the gutter in school might wear a bunch of dark cloths and ear pierceings.
3. someone who wears h&m, and american eagle do you asume there rich! No those could be the only cloths they have.
4. If you come into a resturant with a mustach big boots and a coffee do you assume he is weird. he could be really nice.
5. everyone acts different, and everyone wheres different cloths


That is why I think cloths do not shape who we are you've read my blog, you've read the examples so theres you answer.
