In the essay "Symptoms," John Steinbeck discusses the effects that war can have on soldiers. He argues that soldiers often try to forget their experiences as a defense mechanism.

Steinbeck elaborates on this by comparing it to childbirth. He tells us that women similarly have the ability to forget about a traumatic experience because this enables them to have more children. It is a defense mechanism. Similarly, soldiers are able to forget the hardship of war in order to keep living their lives or to fight in a war again.

Steinbeck's purpose was to explain the experiences of war in a way that was more relatable to the reader. He is successful in doing so because he compares it to a phenomenon most readers are likely to be familiar with.

Directions: Think back to last March, when you were in 7th grade and the lockdown began. Then came the summer and the fall, when
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

I had to do this project and its probably different from your experience but ill put my essay.

Explanation:

In 2019, if somebody told me that next year the world would be shut down and nobody could get within six feet of each other, I would have brought that person to a mental facility. The coronavirus is the most unimaginable, crazy period of time I (and probably the rest of the world) have ever lived through.

I’ve missed out on many things such as vacations, events, birthday parties, and fun activities. Towards the end of the sixth grade, there were all these fun activities and field trips planned since we were graduating elementary school. Only a week before all those activities were to start, the schools shut down and all we got was a driveby graduation at our school which I did actually enjoy but let's face it, that little event did not make up for the loads of things our grade was so very excited to do. My family was also supposed to go to Martha’s Vineyard with my aunt, cousin, and her fiance which we had started doing every summer, but we had to cancel it. The summer was nice though, as I went downtown a lot with my friends, went on my boat a lot, practiced sports, and swam in my  pool. I think we can all agree that the summer probably would have been better without a global pandemic to worry about.

Although it’s been hard, the coronavirus has had some upsides to it. I’ve been recently focusing on improving myself/health and if the pandemic hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have as much time daily and throughout the year to make these improvements for myself. For example, I’ve been going to the local CrossFit gym every day after school and I even participated in a nutrition challenge and won! It built up my self confidence a lot and I'm as fit and as healthy as I've ever been thanks to the extra time I've had to better myself. A lot of people have been saying things about the coronavirus making them have depression, anxiety, and social anxiety and I suppose I gained a bit of that (who hasn’t?) but it’s been really nice to get to focus on myself for a whole year and try new things I've always wanted to do but haven’t had time for. The pandemic has changed me, in some ways for the better because I take things less for granted now and really care about my health, state of mind, and wellbeing much more.
