Reflection:
For my second primary source I decided to write a poem to express my feelings on the pandemic. I start to dive in to the handling of the pandemic in the present day and my discontent with how America had been handling it. I choose a poem because of my love of musical writing and how you can interpret it in multiple different ways. The boredom that arrose from quarantine got me to start to learn the guitar and get into writing songs to help me find meaning when I felt alone. Also I thought a poem would be the best way to express my frustration with losing some of the the supposedly best years of peoples lives. If we are going to compare my other primary source, the journal entries, and this poem; I think that the poem is a much better way to portray my experience with the pandemic. In the future, researchers will be able to use this primary sources because of my view on the role of government on the pandemic. Yes, my poem is very opinionated, but its what a lot of students think today about how some younger people oppose another lockdown.
