Prompt:


 * 1) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">We all have kept secrets and have had others who have kept secrets from us. Some times secrets can be harmless and sometimes they can be harmful. When they are revealed, secrets almost always have consequences attached to them for the revealer and for the person who had the secret in the first place. In your essay, identify a secret you revealed or a secret of yours that was revealed by someone else and discuss how the revelation of this secret impacted you and those around you. Be sure to describe how you felt after the secret was revealed (ex. relieved of guilt). Examples of secrets are:

 * 3) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">You keeping a secret that you got detention in school.
 * 4) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Your sibling keeping a secret that they have a boyfriend.

Follow these steps if you are having trouble composing your essay:

Your essay must adhere to all rules in your Student Handbook and class syllabus.
 * 1) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Your essay needs a main idea. If you are having trouble figuring out what to write about, consider how the revelation of a secret you needed kept or you failed to keep has effected your life. What lesson did you learn from that experience? That lesson can be the basis of your main idea.
 * 2) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The details of the essay need to support your main idea. If a detail is really good but doesn't support your main idea, you should consider not including it in your essay.
 * 3) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Your conclusion also needs to support your main idea, but that is not all it needs to do. Be sure to summarize the details of the essay in the conclusion and bring your main idea (your main point) home.
