Lesson and Project





Humanity and Empathy in the 21st Century
Due: 14 September 2009
Art and Empathy

Excerpted from Structure, Sound, and Sense:

“Art is a lie,” Picasso said, “that leads to the truth” […]. It gives us a keener awareness of our humanity […]. It helps us to understand our world, our neighbors, and ourselves. […] Through the act of reading a story [listening to a song, watching a movie, etc.] and sharing in the author’s imaginative vision, you will gain not only a pleasurable experience but growth in your understanding or the world and of the human condition.

Find a song, movie, TV show, book, poem, etc. that you feel creates a sense of empathy in its audience. Explain your choice in at least a paragraph. Provide the piece or a link to it. Please type your work in MLA format.
