During the COVID-19 pandemic it simply to say that being in your room all day while doing class work that you may not understand is hard. It is like we woke up one day and realized that this crisis is real and the only thing to help is if everyone stays in their homes and only go out when we really need to.

Hi! I noticed this article was great because a lot of people can relate. I like that this article can know that others are going through the same struggles. What other things do you think other people would relate to that has to do with quarantine. This extended my perspective because I relate to these things and can now see other people’s perspectives on quarantine.
Dear Leslie :
I am able to relate to your post/images, “Life in a four-wall room, 2020,” because it’s has been the new normal for everyone. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “It is like we woke up one day and realized that this crisis is real” I think this is described a lot of people’s reaction, as many thought everything would go back to normal soon. The images really show how everyone has quarantined at home.
I agree to this as it really demonstrates the difficulty of quarantine, especially with those who are usually outgoing.
I relate to your poem a lot. Great writing, I look forward to seeing what you make next.
