know the pictures are really bad quality because I didn’t know how to put the
I photos here on google docs so I took my phone and held it up to the computer
camera. The last week has just been very stressful because of online school and
still trying to get up at 9am, but I keep waking up late like at 11 or 12. It’s been
really hard because I have a sprained hand and it hurts but it just happened
today. It’s also been really boring and scary because I have nothing to do except
homework and more homework and my mom watches the news everyday which
is annoying because that just worries people
more but I get that we have to listen and pay
attention. We have also prayed twice in the
house all together. I’m not really scared. I
guess that’s because I have hope and I think
this happened so that the world can heal
because of all the pollution and poaching
and all that stuff.
Denise Ventura
I took the first photo because my win-
dow has these like black bars I guess and
I feel trapped because I can’t go outside
or even be in the halls or anything which
sucks. I feel like I’m on house arrest if
that’s what it’s called. It represents my
experince because it shows how bored I am
and how I feel trapped. The second picture Denise Ventura
represents hope and how I’m not scared and
I feel like this is happening for a reason.

For the first image the bars from the window represent me feeling stuck or
trapped. It feels like there is no escape to this. The only thing that can help in
my opinion is music because we can just dance Coronavirus away and not let
ourselves go insane.
The cross represents my hope and what I believe in and how I feel. The But-
terflies represent my freedom but I feel like my freedom was being able to go
outside and zplore and travel and all that but I feel like it’s all been captured and
I feel like There is no escape.
