“Utopia for an Animal” is a pictorial representation of how the coronavirus has changed our lives. As depicted, humans are stuck inside their homes and apartments, as animals outside frolic and play in an area of little to no pollution, and no hindrance to them. Elephants cross the street, antelopes look around, and bunnies and their families dance and eat grass. Utopia is a perfect society. For animals of all domains and kingdoms, this is the Utopia they would never have gotten anywhere else. Covid-19 has influenced our lives very much and changed the world to a great extent, but on the other hand there are animals, just waiting for this opportunity. Himank Chhaya, 12 Tallahassee, FL

We Are Strong, a poem by Georgia Marshall, 11
We Are Strong By Georgia Marshall, 11 Fires burning across the globe Porcelain crashing True loves forced to see each other, only through windows. And when the sky is falling Through a cracked glass mirror, We have only a ray of hope Shining through the storm. We can find a way to breathe again, If we stay strong. We are strong, glowing warriors in masks. We can make it through Stop this virus. We will link arms again We just need to hold on We are strong Georgia Marshall, 11 Marblehead, MA
