Prose 1. The Fun They Had

1. Imagine you are Tommy. Write a diary entry after reading the book you found in the attic, opining technology is better than real school. 

Date:
Day:
Time:

Dear Diary,

Today,  I read an old book from the attic. I'm  surprised! It was about schools from a long time ago. Kids went to buildings and learned from teachers! Can you believe it? I'm glad we have mechanical teachers now. They're so much better! Our lessons are readily made, and we can learn at our own pace. In the old schools, kids had to sit still and listen to one teacher all day. Boring! Our mechanical teachers are fun and interactive. I like learning from home, too. No traveling, no crowds. Just me, my screen, and knowledge.

Real schools seem ancient. I'm happy with our modern way.

Good night, See you tomorrow 

Tommy

2. You are Margie. Write about your struggles with the mechanical teacher. Express your wish to go to old traditional school.

Time:

Dear Diary,

I'm so frustrated! My mechanical teacher is driving me crazy. It's always repeating the same lessons, never changing. I feel like I'm stuck in a loop.

I wish I could go to a real school like in the old days. I read about them in that ancient book Tommy found. Kids actually talked to each other and learned from human teachers!

My mechanical teacher doesn't understand me. It just gives me tests and says "wrong" or "right." I want someone to explain things differently, to answer my questions.

I miss interacting with people. My friends are just screens to me. We never play or laugh together.

Why did schools change? I want to experience what those kids in the book had. Real classrooms, real teachers, real friends.

Is that too much to ask?

See you tomorrow

Prose 2 The Sound of Music

1. Write a diary entry imagining you are Evelyn Glennie on her trauma at the loss of hearing and how she tried to hide this from others.

Date:
Day: 
Time: 

Dear Diary, 

Today, my thoughts have been heavy with memories of the time I first noticed my hearing fading. It felt like a door quietly shutting on a world I had always taken for granted—the soft sounds of birds, the wind, music. I tried to hide it from everyone, from myself too. I didn’t want to admit that something was wrong. I pretended to hear things that I couldn't, nodding along, faking smiles. Fear of being pitied or judged consumed me. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t keep this secret forever. It was a lonely struggle, but it led me to the power of feeling sound rather than hearing it.

Dear Diary,

Today, as I sit by the Ganga, I am reminded of the early days with my shehnai. It wasn’t always easy; the path was filled with challenges, but every time I played, I felt the river’s soul guiding me. I remember the hours of practice, the frustration, yet the unwavering belief that this instrument held something special. The shehnai has become more than music to me; it is my voice, my way of speaking to the world and to my beloved Ganga.

Time:

Dear Diary,

Tonight, I saw a different side of Father. After my nightmare, he came to my room, picked me up, and held me close. He isn’t as scary as I thought. All this time, I felt afraid of his stern voice and serious face, but now I understand he loves me. Maybe he’s just tired from work. When he hugged me tonight, I felt safe. I wish I hadn’t been so scared of him before. I’ll try to be braver and closer to him.

Day:

Time:

Dear Diary,

Tonight, I realized how much I’ve misunderstood Kezia. When I went to her room after she had that nightmare, she looked so scared. I held her close, and for the first time, I saw how small and fragile she really is. I’ve been too strict, expecting her to understand my seriousness without showing her affection. She clung to me, and I felt a deep responsibility to be more patient. I need to balance my work and being a father better. She needs me, not just my discipline.

Date:

Day:

Time:

Dear Diary, 

Today, I was playing with my favorite mechanical toy again—it fascinates me how all the tiny parts work together so perfectly. I love figuring out how they move and what makes them tick. I can spend hours just studying them. When Maja was born, I thought she was like one of my toys at first. I even asked, *“But where are her wheels?”* It makes me laugh now, but back then, I couldn’t understand why she didn’t have any mechanical parts! I guess I’m always thinking about how things work.

Date:

Day:

Time: 

Dear Diary, 

Today, I feel a deep sadness. The atomic bomb has been used in Japan, and it has caused unimaginable destruction. When I first wrote to President Roosevelt, urging him to begin atomic research, I never thought it would lead to this. The idea of using science to harm innocent lives is unbearable. I devoted my life to knowledge and discovery, but now that knowledge has been turned into a tool for war. I feel responsible, and I wonder if I could have done more to stop this horror.

Iswaran told me yet another strange and spooky story today. This time, it was about a ghost that haunts our worksite!

Sometimes, I wonder if there’s any truth to what he says. I’m sure it’s just his imagination... but still, I can’t shake off the feeling of unease tonight.
