Reflection After Biography: How has your biography connected you to this issue?

I feel as if I connected to it because I feel the difference of my life compared to theirs. We often complain about our daily lives but in reality, there are a lot more children in a lot worse situation than ours. So when I wrote this, I felt really lucky and I used empathy to make me feel more connected to the main character, and I keep asking myself, what would I do in this situation? This always helps me put myself in their shoes and I find it easier to do. Even though I put empathy, I still find it a little hard to believe how cruel can people be.
