This writing prompt is a straightforward writing prompt. It's an interesting prompt too, because you have two polar opposite emotions that the lawyer can draw inspiration from. In the beginning, the lawyer is full of energy and optimism. It's why he is so willing to take on the bet and up the ante beyond what the banker proposed. By the end of the short story though, the lawyer is jaded with people and society. You could write your journal from either perspective, but I recommend writing from the more optimistic point of view. I recommend it for no other reason than the fact that the lawyer left a journal/note of his own at the end of the story. It's a bitter note that expresses no joy or hope. I would write a journal/note for the beginning of his imprisonment, because it would bookend the story nicely.
Things to include in your entry
- personal reason for taking the bet
- how you feel about the banker
- what you think of your accommodations
- what you hope your victory will inspire in people
- plans on how you are going to fill your time while in your prison
