...Elaborate please? What story? If you tell me the name of the assignment I can probably get it for you.
Answer:People are horrible at keeping secrets. As in, really, really bad at it (no matter what anyone may tell you to the contrary). And you know what? We’re right to be. Just like the two Rhesus Macaques in the picture above, we have an urge to spill the beans when we know we shouldn’t—and that urge is a remarkably healthy one. Resist it, and you may find yourself in worse shape than you’d bargained for. And the secreter the secret, the worse the backlash on your psyche will likely be.
I never much cared for Nathaniel Hawthorne. I first dreaded him when my older sister came home with a miserable face and a 100-pound version of The House of the Seven Gables. I felt my anxiety mount when she declared the same hefty tome unreadable and said she would rather fail the test than finish the slog. And I had a near panic attack when I, now in high school myself, was handed my own first copy of the dreaded Mr. H.
Now, I’ve never been one to judge books by size. I read War and Peace cover to cover long before Hawthorne crossed my path and finished A Tale of Two Cities (in that same high school classroom) in no time flat. But it was something about him that just didn’t sit right. With trepidation bordering on the kind of dread I’d only ever felt when staring down a snake that I had mistaken for a tree branch, I flipped open the cover.
Luckily for me, what I found sitting on my desk in tenth grade was not my sister’s old nemesis but The Scarlet Letter. And you know what? I survived. It’s not that the book became a favorite. It didn’t. And it’s not that I began to judge Hawthorne less harshly. After trying my hand at Seven Gables—I just couldn’t stay away, could I; I think it was forcibly foisted on all Massachusetts school children, since the house in question was only a short field trip away—I couldn’t. And it’s not that I changed my mind about the writing—actually, having reread parts now to write this column, I’m surprised that I managed to finish at all (sincere apologies to all Hawthorne fans). I didn’t.
But despite everything, The Scarlet Letter gets one thing so incredibly right that it almost—almost—makes up for everything it gets wrong: it’s not healthy to keep a secret.
I remember how struck I was when I finally understood the story behind the letter – and how shocked at the incredibly physical toll that keeping it secret took on the fair Reverend Dimmesdale. It seemed somehow almost too much. A secret couldn’t actually do that to someone, could it?

Answer:
You may choose a work from the list below or another novel or play of literary merit.1996.The British novelist Fay Weldon offers this observation about happy endings."The writers, I do believe, who get the best and most lasting response from their readersare the writers who offer a happy ending through moral development. By a happyending, I do not mean mere fortunate events -- a marriage or a last minute rescue fromdeath -- but some kind of spiritual reassessment or moral reconciliation, even with theself, even at death." Choose a novel or play that has the kind of ending Weldondescribes. In a well-written essay, identify the "spiritual reassessment or moralreconciliation" evident in the ending and explain its significance in the work as a whole.1995.Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters whoare alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed.Choose a novel or a play in which such a character plays a significant role and showhow that character's alienation reveals the surrounding society's assumptions or moralvalues.1994.In some works of literature, a character who appears briefly, or does not appearat all, is a significant presence. Choose a novel or play of literary merit and write anessay in which you show how such a character functions in the work. You may wish todiscuss how the character affects action, theme, or the development of othercharacters. Avoid plot summary.
381993."The true test of comedy is that it shall awaken thoughtful laughter." Choose anovel, play, or long poem in which a scene or character awakens "thoughtful laughter"in the reader. Write an essay in which you show why this laughter is "thoughtful" andhow it contributes to the meaning of the work.1992.In a novel or play, a confidant (male) or a confidante (female) is a character, oftena friend or relative of the hero or heroine, whose role is to be present when the hero orheroine needs a sympathetic listener to confide in. Frequently the result is, as HenryJames remarked, that the confidant or confidante can be as much "the reader's friendas the protagonist's." However, the author sometimes uses this character for otherpurposes as well. Choose a confidant or confidante from a novel or play of recognizedliterary merit and write an essay in which you discuss the various ways this characterfunctions in the work.1991.Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, twocities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces orideas that are central to the meaning of the work. Choose a novel or play that contraststwo such places. Write an essay explaining how the places differ, what each placerepresents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work.
