Draft #1 As a saying goes, "People are usually moved or affected when they have got a sense of empathy for others." A sense of empathy can help people in various aspects, such as making decisions, understanding others’ problems and treating everybody with magnanimity and equality. But among them, which specific outcome benefits us the most and can prove empathy’s essence the best? In the film “Time to kill” by John Grisham, without the lawyer’s empathy for the defendant, who shot the two white gangs because they raped, injured, and humiliated his daughter, the lawyer would not help him so firmly and would not make it get through the harsh trial. We may come up with the solution, according to "__To kill a mocking bird"__ and “Time to kill”, that the most vital thing empathy offers us is thinking and treating everybody as equals.

Draft #2 It is a common thinking to expect for others’ comprehension when we are in dispute or trouble, similarly, others’ may appeal for our understanding. The process of putting ourselves in others’ perspective is the process of having empathy and it plays a vital role nowadays. But which specific outcome of having empathy benefits us the most and can prove its essence the best? In the film “Time to kill” by John Grisham, the black defendant called Carl Lee viciously shot two young white racists, because they raped, injured, and humiliated his 10-year-old daughter, Tonya. It was almost affirmative that the two men would be acquitted at that time, since they are white but the victim was black and discrimination is omnipresent. The lawyer, Jack Brigance, suffered a lot as if he was on the edge of the cliff. He would not help to testify Carl’s insane and innocence so firmly without his deep empathy for him. On the other hand, Jack told the juries to imagine the victim as their dear kid, as a white girl, on the court. By teaching them to feel the sense of empathy and true equality, he eventually made it through the harsh trial. We may come up with the solution, according to "__To kill a mocking bird"__ and “Time to kill”, that the most vital thing empathy offers us is thinking and treating everybody as equals. Only through this process, can we truly understand others’ problems and treat everybody with magnanimity. So that others willing may be fulfilled, and we can build up friendly relationship with them and obtain a sense of satisfaction and achievement.Only by having equality can we consider about the matter more comprehensively, and make a more proper and ethical decision. So that we can insure that our behaviors meet justice and our conscience. And the existence of justice and conscience can keep our society stable and harmonious.

Draft #3 It is easy for us to definite or to talk about empathy, but challenging to render it practical. Since many people do not have empathy in real life situations and cause a great deal of problems. But what specific factor of human being causes this? A piece of news shocked me and left me with a great impression last month. A tall and strong 18-year-old boy called Wu Tianhao and his two friends went to play basketball in a fitness centre in preparation for going to university as a superior athlete in Changchun, China. There were so many people there on that day, so that they have to share the court, to use play together with five other kids, Friction rose and quarrels came up because of rushing and bumping. Wu knocked down those boys as he was quite fractious. The five boys flee and Wu kept on playing with his friends for a while. But when the three boys came out of the fitness centre, they were besieged, by a approximately forty gangs with sharp knives in their hands. An arrogant woman came out of a car cried “Beat this damned boy as hard as you can! I’ve got tons of money!” She was the mother of Hao Zhipeng, one of the five bullied boys in the court. Two boys successively escaped, but poor Wu Tianhao was caught and beat horribly. In the chaos, his hand was almost cut down and he fell to the ground. Wu passed away at the first aid in the nearby hospital, because there were too many cuts all over him, and too much blood was shed. The nonchalant woman killed a young man simply because her son was bullied and she was aggravated. She did it with anger, without considering about Wu Tianhao and his family. We may come to a solution accordingly that one’s impulse and intuition lead to behaviors that follow his or her will, and a lack of empathy and thorough consideration for the surrounding people.
