Long-Answer Response

1. Josh is the toughest challenge for Caitlin’s emerging sense of empathy. She does not like Josh, not because he is related to one of the shooters who killed her brother but because he seems mean on the playground. In Caitlin’s simplistic view, Josh is simply evil. It is when Caitlin tries to rescue Michael from Josh when he is hanging from the monkey bars that Caitlin sees that she has not been fair to Josh. She sees that Josh is suffering from other kids scapegoating him for the school shooting, which he had nothing to do with. Caitlin and Michael sit on either side of Josh and put their arms around him—a signal that Caitlin now sees how Josh feels and how Josh is suffering.
