Diary Entry

Based on the story "The strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" that we read and analysed in class, we had to write two diary entries as if we were Dr.Jekyll, one when we created the potion and the second one after we drank it.



Once created the potion:

12 July, 1889

    Today was an exhausting day, full of things and activities. I created a potion to be a "monster" in a way. It took a lot of thinking and planning. I tried many things and components. Now my laboratory is full of test potions.

    Well, this is how it all started... I was thinking and it occured to me that every person has a "bad side" so I wanted to separate these two "sides" in a person, so I thought, why don't I create a potion that does that? So I went on and started creating potions, experiments and mixes. In one moment it occured to me "why don't I put a special potion I had made before that made me strong?" So I went on and did it. I started mixing and adding but nothing, until I added a bit of salt and it worked, it made a mini explotion which meant it was exact and perfect. I felt really successful.

   I'm really tired and I felt really successful and great! Now all that is missing is for me to try it. Wish me good luck.

                                          Bye,
                                                   Dr.J

Once drank the potion:

13 July, 1889

     Today was a really strange, and in a good way, a good day for me. I was able to survive a potion try. At first it started as a really bad day but then I remembered I had the potion and my day got brighter.

     Well there's a lot to say about the potion and its effects. It was a really special moment. At first nothing happened, it felt just like a normal day to me but then, my world started to turn around and spin around. I started to look at my hands and hair had grown, my body shrunk, I was shorter. My normal clothes covered my hands and feet. My heart beat went faster and faster, my eyes, my eyes felt like they were going to explode. My nose grew, my lips started getting thicker and I felt my muscles got bigger and stronger. I could pic up a chair and throw it against the wall, which I couldn't do before.

  Well at the end of the day I could finally separate my good side from my bad one. I feel really successful and complete, now I know what I live for.

                                         Bye,
                                                   Dr.J
