Sacrifice

This story evokes the message of sacrifice, similar to what we have been feeling during lockdown; it feels as though we have had to sacrifice our recreational lives. However, I have used the theme of sacrifice to show that although we all have to sacrifice something, we are doing it for a good cause and we are doing it to help each other. By sacrificing our outdoor life, we reduce the chance of spreading infection to everyone around us, and if everyone was to agree to this ideology, we would all be helping each other drastically. That is the message being inculcated within my short story; one may have to sacrifice something, but by doing so they are ensuring the wellbeing of multiple others.
