December 21st was the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. That's the day when Earth's north pole was pointed completely away from the Sun. If you lived north of the Arctic Circle, like Santa Claus, you would have experienced 24 hours of darkness. It was the day the Sun never set.
The reason we have solstices, and seasons, is because Earth is tilted on its axis about 23.5 degrees. This causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. After June 21, the sun's direct rays will again begin to shift southward from the Tropic of Cancer toward Earth's equator.
This pandemic has cause me and my family to grow closer together but my friends farther apart. Don’t get me wrong I love my family and all but sometimes they are a bit invasive. I have picked up new hobbies like sewing and painting, but I just wish this whole thing was over with so much can go back to a normal life. I believe in order to fix this pandemic we have to follow safety precautions like washing our hands cleaning surfaces and wearing masks. If we could follow this then we would be at least one step closer to the end of this pandemic.

The cycle of life is the theme that best describes it
Explanation:
The child is described as experiencing many events and discovering many new objects. He goes out and he encounters the animals, the flowers, the rivers. Whitman argues that everything that the child experiences becomes a part of him that he will carry through life. As time passes, all of these objects will remain with him. Moreover, the child will eventually become the objects that he perceived: the flowers, the grass, the land. This illustrates the circle of life. The idea is that we come from nature, and we will return to nature.
