The Allegory of the Digital Age

✨ Writing Prompt

Write a short story or essay using allegory to critique a specific aspect of social media. Consider crafting a world analogous to our own, where characters represents various social media platforms and user behaviors. For example, you might depict a society governed by 'The Messenger,' where communication is instantaneous but often misinterpreted, or 'The Feed,' where everyone's value is based on likes and shares. Through your allegorical narrative, highlight the complexities of digital interactions, communal connectivity versus isolation, or the impacts on personal identity. Aim to convey a deeper meaning about how these platforms influence our lives.
