Some people probably don't have vaccines because they can't afford it, and it's something that some of our government officials don't see.]]> 2022-02-03 02:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolasfernandez7/9gsj4b4edwg3uckm/wish/2026626561 nicolasfernandez7 https://padlet.com/nicolasfernandez7/9gsj4b4edwg3uckm/wish/2026626715 This poem tells us that there is still a huge gap between the upper and lower class, and that there is still that sense of favoritism or power within these classes. The world always had these types of stereotypes of these people and it is something that is reflected on how much people are currently in poverty, and worst, some probably lost their jobs due to COVID-19 with no help, and it seems that it might keep happening unless we or the government do something to help them, but when?]]> 2022-02-03 02:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolasfernandez7/9gsj4b4edwg3uckm/wish/2026626715 nicolasfernandez7 https://padlet.com/nicolasfernandez7/9gsj4b4edwg3uckm/wish/2026626873 I felt bad honestly, and I recently remember my foster family during my Grade 10 CSIP and I would think that they are struggling right now due to the surge of COVID, and this is a testament to how so much people can't be heard just because of their class. I have to admit that I as well have always never thought of the lower class because I'm one of the few who can just stay inside and not worry about COVID that much but then now I remember that there are so much people suffering everyday just to fight against the virus like the doctors, nurses, and of course, the less fortunate people. This poem resonated with me because it feels like all we have been hearing for the past 2 years is COVID, and it's getting more and more repetitive and I want it to end, and I would believe that the people who are fighting also want it to end. All we can do is hope for the best.]]> 2022-02-03 02:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolasfernandez7/9gsj4b4edwg3uckm/wish/2026626873
