This description of Boo Radley, while frightening the children, also heightened their interest in seeing him for themselves. Their lack of empathy toward him was displayed in two ways: one, they tried many times to peek through the Radley family's windows and doors, and two, they made a game where they ridiculed the family.]]> 2020-09-01 17:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712472643 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712474098 During the cross examination, Mr. Gilmer (who was the prosecutor) began to treat Tom Robinson harshly, to which Tom responded honestly and respectfully. Dill stayed in the courtroom until he could not handle Mr. Gilmer's treatment of Tom. Scout tried to explain to Dill that Tom is "just a Negro" to which he replies, "'I don't care one speck. It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way. Hasn't anybody got any business talkin' like that--it just makes me sick'" (Lee 266). Like many residents of Maycomb, Dill had racist thoughts most of his life until he experienced racism head-on, then he had empathy for those affected by it.]]> 2020-09-01 17:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712474098 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712474875 By the end of the book, Jem and Scout learned that Boo Radley was misunderstood. Instead of being the crazy, deranged man the myths made him up to be, he was actually a kind and quite normal person: At the end of chapter 29, Scout makes her first interaction with Boo Radley: "[Boo's] lips parted into a timid smile, and our neighbor's image blurred with my sudden tears. 'Hey, Boo,' I said" (Lee 362). Scout's maturity that developed over time allowed her to put herself in Boo's shoes. Instead of treating him like a crazy person, she treats him like the normal person he actually was.]]> 2020-09-01 17:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712474875 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712483007 2020-09-01 17:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712483007 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712484932 Firstly, Rainier Popup Kitchen is a popup kitchen located in Seattle, Washington that, every Sunday, provides food for local homeless people. A big concern for the non-profit volunteer-based organization came up recently when COVID-19 made its way to the United States. Realizing that they had to make a change to their food stations in order to stop the spread, the Rainier Popup Kitchen moved to a grab-and-go model where the food, vitamins, water, and other important energy sources are packed into plastic bags. If giving food to homeless people wasn't enough in the first place, they fine-tuned their food stations to meet the homeless peoples' intensified needs.]]> 2020-09-01 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712484932 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712485514 Secondly, the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has shown the different ways in which empathy is important in leading ourselves out of the situation we're in. Many of those who believe that they're less likely to get the coronavirus believe that they shouldn't play their part in stopping the spread, whether that's through wearing a socially distancing, wearing a mask, or washing their hands more thoroughly. However, it is important for us to remain empathetic for those who are more exposed to the coronavirus. If we make sure we're taking our part in stopping the spread, then those who are fearful of the virus won't have to worry about catching it anymore.]]> 2020-09-01 17:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712485514 s24600464 https://padlet.com/s24600464/55urmvl9t8fhpoby/wish/712485994 One last current event that shows people showing empathy is Red Cross's aid to those who were affected by Hurricane Laura in Louisiana.
