#10 - "Sympathy or Empathy?..."

Explain the difference between sympathy and empathy.  Tell about a time when you displayed each.

#9 - Character Judgement...

At the end of the novella, do you sympathize with Dr. Jekyll?  Do you feel sorry for him?  Is he still a likable character?  Or do you say, "Good Riddance!"  He gets what he deserves?  What are the reasons for your opinion of Dr. Jekyll?  What might you have done had you been in Dr. Jekyll's situation? 

#8 - It's Bigger than You...

Often we find ourselves in a position where doing the wrong thing would greatly benefit us.  Tell about a time when you a) did the right thing and in doing so sacrificed something you wanted or b) did the wrong thing and benefitted from it.  Which is easier?  Why?
