DYSTOPIAN DIARY

Choose a character living in a dystopian society and write a diary entry from their perspective. This could be someone who has just discovered a hidden truth about the society or someone who has decided to resist the oppressive regime.

Explore their emotions, fears, and hopes as they navigate their daily life in this dystopian world. What challenges do they face, and how do they cope with them?

Consider including details about the character’s interactions with others, their reflections on the state of the world, and any internal conflicts they may be experiencing.
