YOU also learn that all of the families in your neighborhood have been evacuated. • How does this make you feel? What are your thoughts? How does this change your view of the world? DO you continue to remain optimistic about humanity? Or do you become pessimistic? • Respond in first person, present tense.

How do you “escape” from your crowded surroundings and make time for yourself?
