Skill Builder
Build up Your Empathy with the Characters

It is important to understand the emotions, behaviours and intentions of characters in a story.
You’re not going to be able to experience every single thing that can happen to others, but you can use your imagination to think about how it might feel and use that understanding to empathise with them.
