Give your story a title.

2020 Poetry Book

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a collection of poems I created during the pandemic as part of an English class assignment. I also have some photos I took in the book, as well as photos from the internet.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This object tells the story of the pandemic through three chronological sections. I want all my readers to be instilled with a sense of hope after finishing my book, so that is why I wrote about the future. The future may seem bleak during times like this, but having hope and optimism will continue to help move everybody forward in their lives, knowing this will eventually come to an end.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

#Hope, #Togetherness, #Optimism
