This line hit me because it makes me think about everyone who lost their loved ones, friends and family to the virus. Normal everyday people who watched the news praying to god or whoever they believe in, not to let what is happening out there to happen to them. It also connects to me because I'm one of those people. Hoping this virus doesn't affect my mother or father.

This connects to the previous line where he talks about not being able to see what is behind the mask and that grocery store workers do not care, but in a positive way. Grocery store workers do not care about his past, whether it involved eating "gnocchi" or "wild animals".

In this line, I think the author is talking about not being able to read the true intentions of a person. This pandemic has caused a lot of division and opposing opinions as well as evil. The point that is being made is that you never know who the person behind the mask truly is.

This line stood out to me because It provides commentary on an everyday item that most people use(a mask) and how people express themselves even while no one can see or tell how their feeling. How many lies have been told through the thin veil of a mask? how many people are there that have been misunderstood because of a mask?. This line brings up a flurry of questions that I know will never be answered but the fact that it made me wonder is why I chose it.
