Why I sympathize Jack and the Giant?

Write one paragraph each for why Jack and the Giant both deserve our sympathy.
Why do I sympathize Jack?
From my point of view, I sympathize Jack because he came from a poor family and had only her mother to live with as he did not have a father. They could only depend on their cow, Milky, to produce milk for a living. They have no extra incomes from work as Jack is too young to work and his mother needs to take care of him. When Milky could not produce milk anymore, they had to sell their cow to continue to live. They were so that when the beans grew, Jack had to resort to stealing the Giant’s valuables, risking his life while he did that as the Giant eats boys and could sniff out the scent of their blood in order for his poor mother and himself to continue to live peacefully as they had no other way to survive since none of them have jobs. I pity them as if Jack did not exchange their cow for the beans, they would have died of thirst and hunger.
Why do I sympathize the Giant?
I sympathize the Giant he died a terrible death. Although he eats young boys and is very greedy, he does not deserve that kind of fate. He did not even have a clue of who had stolen his valuables. He must have very clueless and upset as he discovered that he kept on losing his valuables after his nap, as if he did not care about his valuables, the golden hen and the golden harp would not have screamed to wake him up to save them when Jack had taken them away from their master. So when he found out it was Jack who had stolen it, despite his instincts, he still climbed down the beanstalk just to get his golden harp back. But his attempt failed terribly as Jack chopped the beanstalk before his legs could even touch the ground and broke the crown of his head while Jack continued to lead a happy life.
