The role of social media in today's society is undeniably significant. Social media platforms have

personal level, social media enables individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and interests
with a global audience, fostering creativity and self-expression. Moreover, it has become an
essential source of news and information, making it easier for people to stay up-to-date on

all the new comers and it is human beings are naturally curious to know about their surroundings
where they live Narrow jail cell is a very limited world and every prisoner wants to know about
the facilities and limitations around him. Thus, every prisoner almost behaves in the same way

his surroundings.

Answer:
As soon as the cell door is slammed behind him, the first-time prisoner stands in the middle of
the cell and look all around. He momentarily looks at various things that he can use. He makes a
mental a plan to keep his spirits up and tests the iron bed and washing facilities. He is afraid to
see the official on duty through the hole of the door Suddenly his confidence and enthusiasm
changes into melancholia and depression the moment he realizes his limitations and helplessness.
This too does not last long and his depression changes into hopefulness and he gets lost in the

and limitations. Once again he starts paying attention to various things at his disposal. He
undergoes countless thoughts within a short span of three minutes only.
