The thing you can make of all the craziness that their is out there is to enjoy it and have fun with it. Just live it like if their wasn't another tomorrow and enjoy it without having to worry about your problems or the things that are going on around  you.

 Richard Cory poem The laughing heart poem Of mice and men book

We are all going through some stressful times right now that we are all in quarantine because we can't go out to have fun. For example we can't  really go camping, hiking, going to the beach, traveling or going out to go dance. But it's for our own safety to stay home  and to take precautions. And to try our best to keep ourselves busy.

During this pandemic it's hard for us to do our activities or our regular routines. But I try to keep myself busy as much as possible because I can't do my normal activities and routine that I used to do because we have to stay home as much as possible as we can. Therefore how I work from 6 am to 4 pm and then I get home and do my school work and my responsibilities it takes up all my time and that's how I try to keep myself busy.

The author Joseph Heller had so much fun with the names in the book because they had some type of meaning that people didn't even know about it. His tone toward the characters is satirical because he exaggerates the actions of the characters in a specific way that had drawn the attention to the insanity of war. He was trying to tell the reader about his personal experience he had in world war 2.

So if school had opened tomorrow my family and I wouldn't trust it to be safe unless we see that they are actually taking precautions. Also it wouldn't be safe because you  are risking your life. For example when you go to lunch or when your going to next class because your passing by everybody else so closely and during lunch people are all sometimes in all one place which is a bigger risk of contaminating each other more.

well if the government had done that then life would be different for me right now because my mom wouldn't have to go to work and I wouldn't try to be looking for work in the field to help her out. Because we would have all the things  we need to live a stable life in this pandemic  but it's not like we have to work to be able to pay or bill our rent and our necessities that we need.

The catch- 22  is  a paradoxical situation that an individual can't escape from because it has rules and limitations. Also an individual has no control over it because they for them to fight the rule is to accept it.

Their is only 2 people in this would that I actually trust. Whom they are my bestfriend and my mom. I trust my bestfriend because she has been their for me even in my worst times and she is always their to support me whenever and also because I have known her for almost 4 years and she has earned my confidence. As well because she has demonstrated to me no matter if we are mad at each other we still know that we count with each other regardless of the circumstances. And my mom because I know that she will always be their with me  helping me face the obstacles that come my way. Also she is my confidencial. I know whenever I need something I can go to my mom without no problem. Honestly I don't trust anybody else who isn't my mom or my bestfriend because everybody else is fake no offense though but anybody can stab you in the back whenever. Therefore their suppose to earn your trust and show that you can clearly trust them because you never know people easily change.

From the poem of  " The love of songs of  J. Alfred Prufrock" I chose a simile. The simile I choose from the poem was "The streets that follow like a tedious argument". It contributes to the tone of the poem by it like saying that the people that are talking across the street sound like an argument to the  narrator.

Well honestly during this quarantine for me nothing that I have done has made my time feel that its has gone slowly. Except the fact that we can't go out has made my life a bit complicated because I am the type of persons that like to go out and have fun I am not those people who like to stay home. What I believe caused the impression of something that you do that makes your time go so slow would be because your not enjoying what you are doing or because its something that you are doing but its not in your interest.

The effect that I imagine this would have is that you wouldn't take in consideration everybody's opinion or thoughts because you are only focusing on the people that had never asked a question. But it also was showing that regardless of how shy  or timid you are because asking questions is always helpful because it gives us a better understanding. Yes in a way it does remind me of school because  for example like me their is more shy people whom keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves and which I believe it should change because sometimes for being shy we can tend to let opportunities to fly by us.

Why is their people in the whole entire world that are always criticizing what you do and sometimes without  even knowing you or known what you have gone through. Is it because they are jealous of you or just because they don't have  a life to focus on. But of course their will always be many reasons why people are always criticizing  other life's. Instead of them fixing their problems they rather get involved in other people's life. But that has to change because of course we are all going to live a different way regardless of others people opinion because the only thing that matters is your own opinion and they way you feel.

Clevinger tells Yossarian that he's crazy because he is saying that the war is crazy and that  anyone that had tried to pass it off was as well insane too. This is because Yossarian is obsessed with death. I do agree because either way sooner or later we are all going to die and we are suppose to live our life's to the fullest like if their isn't another tomorrow.

So their is only two things about this pandemic. So one of the best things about this pandemic is that I get to spend more time with my loved ones. Especially with my little niece because all she wants to do is play and just keep playing. But not only this also I can have more time to focus on myself and this was something that I was really looking forward to due this year. Therefore these are the two best things about the pandemic  but  really I am looking forward to being able to go out and having fun.
