Best Writer

In “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,” Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells a story that is at one and the same time whimsical, fable-like, and yet also very realistic. He does this by infusing the fantastic elements of the story with concrete details that make it impossible to think of the story as a fairy tale. An example is the description of the old man’s wings…they are not at all ‘angelic,’ but decrepit, and foul.
Write a story that includes something fantastic, but make it real, with details that make it impossible for the reader to think of it as a fairy tale.
This prompt is an invitation to the imagination, and to the craft of detail. For example, this happened to me:

I came home to my building last Wednesday night and found a man in a Halloween costume lying down by the recycling bins, groaning as if he were in pain. I went carefully down the steps and saw it was a grown man wearing a blue costume with a red cape. He lay on his side with one arm covering his face.
“Are you alright?” I said, and immediately recognized the absurdity of my question, Of course he was not alright.
A light from behind one of the plastic bins at his feet caught my attention: a green glow pulsing against the concrete. A leather strap snaked from behind the bin, and was tied to his ankle.
He lifted his arm and looked at me with pained eyes.
“Help me,” he said.
I pulled the bin away from the wall. Tied to the other end of the leather strap was a great block the size of a brick, glowing neon green.

NO OUTSIDE RESOURCE
You should include description and analysis of specific examples rather than general statements. Avoid
general background information; instead, get right to the point with the most relevant content
that pertains to the given field study assignment. Do not include outside sources.

Identify factors that affect empathy and the social processes in which they occur. This field study invites you to analyze one example of empathy and one of disempathy in their situational contexts. Observe your own cognitive and emotional processes of empathy/disempathy in your everyday life for a few days and take notes as part of this assignment.

You should address each of these points in your analysis of each example:
What factors facilitated and constrained empathy (and compassion) and how did this happen? What meaning making accompanied this empathy/disempathy? How did the people involved experience it? .

Use relevant concepts in your analysis: empathy; compassion; resonance; cognitive empathy; compassionate empathy; ignorance v. acts of ignoring; parochial empathy; empathy bias; ideology; feeling rules. You don’t have to use all of these; use whatever is relevant and necessary for your analysis, which would be a minimum of at least two of the above terms per example plus whatever else you decide to use. You need a total of at least four concepts, so you can’t use the same two for each example.

In the first paragraph, describe any patterns of empathy/disempathy that you observed while doing this assignment (remember that the two examples you analyze are just part of this assignment). Briefly introduce the two examples you are analyzing and why you chose those examples (i.e. how they represent or fit into the larger patterns).
In the following paragraphs, provide a well-organized analysis of your examples of empathy and disempathy. In the concluding paragraph, reflect on what you learned, found interesting, implications, etc.
Standard formatting applies.
