Tne task is to develop a dystopian world that challenges conventional thinking and offers insight into human nature and society. Develop a compelling narrative that explores the intricacies of your dystopian world. Include well-defined characters who navigate the challenges and conflicts of the society you’ve created. Ensure that the story has a clear beginning, middle, and end, and that it successfully critiques society, or warns us about something in society. This Essay MUST have dialouge and character dynamics it can be 800-1000 words. You can add your own characters 
Here is my prompt –
-There is a specific amount of words you can say in a day which you are given once you are born. The people with the most words are the government and higher ups which are corrupted (they are considered better than everybody else) and control those with less words with their speeches and etc.  there’s a dilemma where the main character had to speak because she discovered the governments corruption on the people but couldnt since she used all her words when she was little,  so they went into the headquarters to hack the system to give herself more words or delete the word system entirely to speak out and warn the people. People are divided based on the amount of words they have; those with fewer words are on the poorer side and are manipulated and brainwashed by people with way more words on the richer side. The government which are the higher ups wants to kill her and she goes through a tough time going through headquaters, theres body guards with guns and etc so she has to pretend to be a higher up. 
-The main character is a 18 year old named Lyndon Gilmore in the country Valtania she talks by writing on a piece of paper 
-The president is Luther Tenebris and somehow he has unlimited words but that’s because he created this whole system because he hated how too many people had freedom of speech and said whatever they had on their minds. He corrupts them with his words by saying things that are even bad and convince them. (Them as in people with less words)

“The Dominance of English in Marrakech Tourism: Impacts on Communication, Cultural Identity, and Tourists’ Experience”

Abderrahim Jraidi, [5/13/2024 11:49 PM]
Marrakech, Morocco’s bright tapestry is boosted by the tourism that this place receives every year from millions of people, approximately 6.5 million tourists visited the country in the first half of 2023. It is through effective communication that these experiences are made possible so as to bridge the gap between busy marketplaces and historical buildings. This research however explores how English has become dominant in Marrakech travel and its impacts on communication, cultural identity and tourists’ experience.
For example, we want to know why many individuals are learning English at a fast rate. We shall look at the shifting demographics of tourists; there are also economic benefits for vendors who can speak English well as any other policies regarding the use of language in the tourism sector.
Additionally, we will attempt to delineate what the use of English does to communication and understanding. We will see how English helps tourists communicate but also recognize that non-English speakers may find it hard. Furthermore, we will inquire into code-switching where both English and other languages such as Arabic or French are used while engaging in a conversation with regards to clarity and comprehension implications.
Abderrahim Jraidi, [5/13/2024 11:49 PM]
By exploring these questions, We seek to illuminate the complicated interconnection between language, tourism and cultural identity in Marrakech by interrogating these ideas. We will examine how English usage affects tourists’ interactions with vendors and whether or not it changes Marrakech’s traditional cultural identity.
