Sympathy

grandma that we call Graham cracker. She wasn’t always around, but now she is attached to my family like glue. The stroke has shaped me into who I am today, because it has showed me sympathy, allowed me to believe people can accomplish anything, and has taught me real emotion and destruction. The first reason is using sympathy as an everyday object. Ever since the incident that happened to my grandma, I tend to be more nice to my peers, see things from other points of view, and I try to make…

light. As a result of the character Dante’s pity for the lustful souls the author, I think, is letting his readers know that it is ok for us to also feel sympathy for some of the souls in this circle, and others as the poem progresses. This allows Dante to use the development of his character to tell the readers when, and why they should feel sympathy for souls that are damned to hell by the almighty God for committing terrible…

stanzas. The sentence, “When I was a child / I played by myself in a / corner of the schoolyard / all alone” forms the first stanza of the poem (1-4). This drawn-out style of writing elongates the speaker’s uncomfortable and painful childhood, evoking sympathy from the reader.

Imagine sitting on a train. An individual typically would conjure up a variety of images, a cozy cabin with a cushioned booth and a table to eat the lavish meal the gracious waters served, or possibly less upscale but still comfortable, each person receiving his or her own seat, separate and spacious. Now with this image in mind, imagine a child starting to cry. The typical person would consider the child’s parents; they should comfort him or her. The crying continues and no one aids the lost…
