Blog 5- Empathy In Readers

In this post, I'm going to talk about how good authors establish empathetic emotions within the reader.

In any good book, the author tries to give the reader feelings that make them understand what a character in their book is feeling. This is called empathy. Empathy can be used to make the reader feel depressed, saddened, or even hopeless. It can also be used to make the reader feel happy or joyful.
Some examples of this kind of writing is when a character in a book dies. When this happens you often feel sad or depressed because that is what the other characters are feeling. That is an example of how the author makes you feel empathy for the characters in the book.

This is how I think that authors make you feel empathy.
