Essay on the lockdown
Answers
Answer:
As the days shorten, the nightly commute comes ever closer to sunset.
That would normally mean thousands of cars lining up at busy Christchurch intersections, sending plumes of carbon monoxide into the fading light.
The national lockdown has changed all that, of course, leading to dramatic – well, desolate – scenes across the city during that usually hectic hour between 5pm and 6pm.

On any normal weekday at 5pm and you’d expect slow progress along Anzac Drive from the Avon-Heathcote Estuary towards Prestons, a subdivision of more than 2000 homes that sprung up after the city’s quakes.
But on day 15 of the lockdown – and the day before Good Friday, no less – the streets were relatively empty, the wait at lights short, and the air, as in other parts of the country, seemed relatively good to breathe.
Explanation:
- Some can’t wait to go out again, others don’t really want to, happy to stay home connected to the outside world only through their computer. Some are worried about the virus and others, instead, are more concerned about the climate crisis.
- To give an answer to this important question, we adopted the same means teenagers use to study and communicate within their community. Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp … these video chats were our eyes to take the pictures, remotely.
- Teens (and their parents) allowed us to take snapshots using the camera of their computers, tablets or mobile phones, at home, in their bedroom or where they are spending the quarantine, while they study, read, chat, play music, watch TV or exercise.
- This gives a unique portrait of generation Z.
