The Role Of Sympathy In Diane Sawyer

Diane Sawyer has a sympathetic attitude towards Robert Looks Twice because of the rough life he has. The audience can see and hear the sympathy when she talks about the poverty, the drunks, and the very dull community. She does not just show sympathy for Robert, but she does for the whole community. In addition, she shows sympathy when she says, “70 percent of Roberts’s friends will drop out.” Furthermore, when Robert gives her a tour of his house and everything is a mess she shows sympathy to him. He has to find a corner because the house is so small and has so many children that it is always loud, and really shows the understanding when she says, “Robert has to try to find a corner of the house so he can study.”
