Question #3

Look at the section where Kate DiCamillo asks us (the reader) if we know what it means to be "empathetic." DiCamillo explains the word by giving an example: "It means that when you have a large knife pointed at your back, when you are trying to be brave, you are able, still, to think for a moment of the person who is holding that knife."

How does she define "empathetic"?
