Have you known/heard of an episode where a good deed or an act of kindness has changed a person's view of the world?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Directions: Think of any incident or a story where your perspective changes due to some act of kindness from someone. Or, think about someone whose perspective changes because of a good deed by someone else.
Discussing this with the group will help. After finalising the incident, write about the reason the person had a negative perspective towards life. Then describe the episode where someone bestowed kindness on him.
Finally, explain what effect it had on the person on whom it was bestowed and how his perspective of the world changed.
(Directions have been provided for a student's benefit. It is strongly recommended that students prepare the answer on their own.)
