- Who do we start to empathise with?
In the first episode of cuffs we start to empathise for many characters but especially for Ryan as not only is a police officer but a single parent and its hard for him to jugle both, so when he finds his child slacking off outside of school with his friends and his son does not respect him its hard for him. He doesnt want to have to Shout and upset his son. this i find is very hard for not only him having to shout at his son as he loves his son and doesnt want have to be rude and hurtfull to him. its also very hard as he embarrssed his son infront of his freinds and also the fact he is infront of jake.
We also empathise for besons the rasists victim who is hurt and harrased by him because of the colour of his skin and religion. we empathise because he did not ask to be put in this position and was also ambushed without his parent being in the country so went through all of this alone without any comfort and care just him in the hospital by himself
You show understanding of how audiences are made to empathise with the protagonist Ryan in the scene where he has to discipline his son. You respond as a sympathetic audience to the victim of racism: always support your points with specific textual evidence, such as by writing "The victim of Benson's unprovoked racist attack is shown as outnumbered and terrified in the shop through close ups on his face."
