Diary Entry

We wrote 2 diary entries as if we were Dr. Jekyll. The first one was before using the potion for the first time and the second one was after using it.

Dear diary:

I have just finished my potion, now I can see my evil personality!  I am so happy! I am very excited now, I cannot wait to drink it and to live as my evil part. It will be great! I do not know what I can do, and neither what I will do, but they will not be good things, it is an evil personality, not a good one. Definitely I will do bad things, and someone can catch me, but if I go out at night I will have the whole city for my own, and that will be fascinating (and also interesting). I have to avoid looking like both of my personalities, because they seem to have something in common and, also, I have to invent a name so they don’t recognize me, but, how can it be?… it will be as if I am hiding from the world, from the city, from society, so it can be related to that, so, it could be Mr. …Hyde. In this moment I am in my home waiting for my servant to go to sleep so I can drink the potion and se the effects.

Good-bye, Henry

Dear diary:

I had my first experience with the potion, two days ago. It was amazing! The potion worked perfectly! The effects were as I thought, my body was smaller than my original one and I was uglier, and more disgusting. I could do whatever I wanted and nobody recognized my, because, they could recognize me, maybe if someone saw me getting out of my house and thought it was me (Dr. Jekyll), equally, when I was coming home I entered through the back door, and I realized that I could use that one (nobody knows that the door is mine) I am also very happy because I can remember it all. When I started creating the potion, I was scared due to the fact that probably I could not remember what I would do as Mr. Hyde because, basically, we are two different people, but I could! I am writing to you from my lab, I just wanted to tell you how my experiences were and that I am going to repeat it tonight.

Good-bye, Henry
