Discussion One – Baby Shoes
Ernest Hemingway’s style has intrigued many readers. He was of the opinion that his job was not to give every detail of a story . . . that the reader had to participate in the understanding of the work. By adding their own details from their own lives, readers relate more directly with the story being told: it has a frame of personal reference for them.

Once at a party, another writer bet Hemingway that he couldn’t write a complete short story in less than ten words. This one has six. The story is below; remember that this is not the title of the story, this is the story itself. Hemingway wrote it on a napkin and passed it along; the story goes that without a word, the bettor paid up on the spot.  This is what he wrote:

“Baby shoes for sale; Never used.”

This isn’t the title of the story: it IS the WHOLE STORY. Here’s an example of how important the READER is in making a great story.  Your assignment is to write 100-250 words telling us what this story is about. Here’s a hint: don’t assume there’s only one solution to the problem.

Reflection Paper — Empathy Versus Sympathy

/in /by

In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (1960) wrote, “You never really know a man until you understand
things from his point of view until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (p. 30). As a social worker, you
are called upon to walk in the skin (or shoes) of your clients, understanding their lives and circumstances so
that you can help them toward wellness. This empathic quality is a hallmark of the profession.
There is a difference, however, between empathy (feeling with the client) and sympathy (feeling for the client).
Empathy promotes a relationship—in other words, a sense of togetherness—whereas sympathy indicates a
separation.
In this Assignment, you reflect on a situation where others approached you with empathy or sympathy and
examine the effect of that interaction.

• Identify two statements that someone could have said to you that would have given you comfort.
