https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p Important Questions during Lockdown by Tiny Diapana en-us 2022-01-31 02:51:23 UTC 2025-10-12 08:07:30 UTC hello@padlet.com joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020510182 The dramatic situation in this poem is shown through the persona questioning her circumstances. The persona worries about her current living situation and is somewhat bored out of her mind moving from one place to another in their home. Not being able to eat properly and also being desperate to know why they are in that situation gives us a sad reality of the lockdown]]> 2022-01-31 02:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020510182 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020511587
The speaker in the poem is someone who is living in a very tight situation with not much food and not being able to leave the house because of fear of catching the sickness.The speaker would be willing to skip meals just so that their children could eat and survive.]]> 2022-01-31 03:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020511587 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020511677
The persona seems anxious with all the questions she asks. She is desperate to find harmony in her situation when things don't look good anymore. It brings the readers some sort of fright and sadness because the persona asking all these questions and even questioning her living makes us think that she is "starting to lose it" and at the same time make us feel some sympathy for them.]]> 2022-01-31 03:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020511677 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020513716
The poem gives us a whole description of what a family goes through in these times of living specifically the lockdown. When people weren't allowed to leave the house when each individual was mentally challenged since they are only stuck at home waiting. Lower-class families have to go through extreme challenges like giving up their meals so others can eat and trying to survive a pandemic.]]> 2022-01-31 03:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020513716 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020515438
I think the chosen text is relevant to the world today since this is also the exact situation we live in. The fear of going out, the long waiting when we would be able to go out, and having the longing to meet people. Other than that, families still try to find ways =s to help sustain their loved ones and survive despite the lack of food. support etc.]]> 2022-01-31 03:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020515438 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020517880 "Dizzying tide of hunger to go away"
- this is a figure of speech since hunger is being described as unsteady or confused which is also used to describe someone.

Its also personification because the persona is talking about stretching their patience, faith, body and  limits

The same goes with the last question, that there isn't any right to suffer this much. The lines talk about a different meaning than the literal meaning. ]]> 2022-01-31 03:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020518313 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020534569 I think everyone's situation amidst the pandemic, gave us unfair circumstances in exchange for the safety of everyone. There are people who work at home but others had to quit their jobs since they weren't able to go out. People are worried about themselves how they'll go about their days. People have extreme sadness being stuck at home not being able to see other people and being stuck with the same faces every day. We raise so many questions and worries which affects so much on our mental health. When it comes to the lower class families, they have to deal with extreme disadvantages of their food and shelter. Being unable to work because of the lockdown means no money for their expenses. With police being outside controlling the streets trying to spot anyone at night during the curfew scares the communities. The poem tells us about our countries situation where questions are still left unanswered and worries still grow day by day. ]]> 2022-01-31 03:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020534569 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020609923 I think all these lines give more to the poem because it helps us imagine the sad situation of that the persona is going through ]]> 2022-01-31 05:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020609923 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020611777 Just realizing how different families have to go through extreme situations because of the pandemic and the state of our country gives us a reality check that the lockdown really drained the people mentally and physically. Making each individual face their own problems. ]]> 2022-01-31 05:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020611777 joaquinperez6 https://padlet.com/joaquinperez6/k1hht8gz8mq8a23p/wish/2020668189 These are my favorite lines not because it gave me some sort of comfort but struck me the most because the speaker when everything is going downhill in his/her situation, questions the state of living they are in. It gave me a sad feeling that people have to go through these type of situations now that there more problems added to their day since the lockdown.
