The Department of English organised a student-centric activity titled Expository Writing – Image to Emotion Word: Sympathy or Empathy on 23rd July 2025. This innovative session aimed to enhance students’ analytical thinking and expressive writing skills by interpreting images through emotional perspectives.
Under the guidance of Dr. B. Devibala, Assistant Professor, Department of English, students explored the nuanced differences between sympathy and empathy. Participants were shown carefully selected images and asked to respond with descriptive and reflective writing that aligned with one of the two emotion words. This helped them articulate their thoughts with clarity, depth, and emotional awareness.
The session fostered creativity and encouraged students to develop a deeper understanding of human emotions and how they can be effectively expressed through language. It also supported the enhancement of critical writing abilities essential for academic and personal expression.
