Secrets Don't Make Friends (Assignment 8)

Options 1)
Write about a time when you told a secret and found out the person you told revealed it to someone else. How did you feel? Did you confront the person? Describe the circumstances and consequences.

Options 2)
Write a monologue in which a fictional character reveals a secret, keeping in mind that Macbeth has really raised the bar high. In other words, make it a significant one. Give urgencey to the telling of the secret. This situation can add urgency to whatever you write. If you're feeling stale on a piece, imagine it as a secret being revealed.
