A sympathetic character is a character who we find generally likeable because

they have qualities we admire. A character can also be unsympathetic, if that
character is a character we love to hate. For example, many students, find the
character Dee-Wangero in Walker's "Everyday Use" to be markedly
unsympathetic, unlikeable. It can make for an interesting discussion.
For this discussion topic, clarify whether you see Dee-Wangero as primarily
sympathetic or not sympathetic. Give examples to support your assertion, and
offer a little bit of concession that you can see why others might regard her
differently than you.
Be sure to give reasons for your feelings about this character, by referring to
incidents in the plot or--even better--specific things she says (being sure to quote
and cite).
As always, your original thread should be posted by Wednesday in advance of the
deadline (refer to the calendar) and should be between 100 and 200 words. Your
two replies should be posted by the established deadline, and they should add
something to the discussion, not just agree or disagree with a classmate's post.
Replies should be at least 50 words each.

Answer: A sympathetic character is a character who we feel compassion for and connection to. It is a character that we find likeable. The Oxford English Dictionary (also known as the OED) is over 21,000 pages long and is probably the most massive English dictionary in the world.
