Empathy Flashcards
Disgrace-3, Cal to Scout after lunch
Yo’ folks might be better’n the Cunninghams but it don’t count for nothin’ the way you’re disgracin’ ‘em.’
Hiding Place
‘Don’t take it Jem…This is somebody’s hidin’-place…Somebody like Walter Cunningham comes down here every recess and hides his things -
Lonliest
‘Mayella Ewell must have been the loneliest person in the world’
Sick
‘It was the way he said it made me sick, plain sick’
Guilty
‘his shoulders jerked as if each ‘guilty’ was a separate stab between them.’
Angry Tears
‘His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. ‘It ain’t right,’ he muttered’
Children Weep
‘They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it - seems that only children weep.’
Beating
‘So if spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that’s something I’ll gladly take.’
Consider
‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until climb into his skin and walk around in it.’
