Question

an informal letter about 150 words to my friend about lockdown experience​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ------,

Nice hearing from you, I'm glad to hear you're getting by okay in these grim times.

You asked how’s it going for us back here in --------.

You would have heard that the whole country is locked down and with breaks for exercise and shopping, we’re all living under a sort of voluntary house arrest.

The start of the lock down triggered in me an old feeling from past years.

From those car assembly strikes we took back in the ‘70s. The feeling at the strike’s onset; after our vote to stop, the conflicting feelings, the element of excitement, dare I say it, of fun. The usual boring routine suddenly wiped away, all of us together on the brink of an adventure, with a strong sense of collective purpose. A feeling of being vibrantly alive.

Then, as days passed, bills came and arguments at home increased.

When we get through the present stage of the drama, will these realisations translate into a revived socialist current? During the last few weeks, the capitalist class has shown they can make radical decisions. I’m hopeful that our side can too.

Best to your and yours,

------
