Rough draft essay 2

The first few months of the Pandemic came out of nowhere. Many different emotions were experienced. But the most common among everyone was fear. The fear of contracting the disease, of death, if life will ever go back to normal, and many more. I have chosen images that represent the results or causes of fears during the Pandemic for me. I chose these three because they connect to each other in a way. Through the emotion of fear that is.

The first thing that I thought of after hearing about covid-19 was how deadly will it be and how many lives will it take. I used to look at the death toll daily to see how bad it is getting and which area is affected the most. The death rate went up so much in a few weeks. Just seeing this makes me scared to go outside and also work. You can get many information from the chart. For example like where the virus spread from and how deeply it is spread. This was probably one of the reasons people did’t go out as much anymore compared to the starting of the pandemic. This image was an example of ethos as it was trustworthy information that is constantly updated.

My second image was the result of fear. This was not common but it was one of the first sign of fear for safety during the Pandemic for me. I used to work in a grocery store so I saw many people wear these masks in first person. These are respirators. There were even some people who wore these and also a plastic shield infront of their face. Some people were worried about their health more compare to others. It was mostly the elders or older people that I saw wearing these. This is an example of pathos because it showed that people were worried about their health and safety that they were extra cautious.
