October


 * October's Question:** Often in literature, a character's success in achieving goals depends on keeping a secret and divulging it only at the right moment, if at all. Choose a novel or play of literary merit that requires a character to keep a secret. In a well-organized essay, briefly explain the necessity for secrecy and how the character's choice to reveal or keep the secret affects the plot and contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole. You may select a work from the list below, or you may choose another work of recognized literary merit suitable to the topic. Do NOT write about a short story, poem, or film.

No two people can use the same novel or play and it is a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to write about //Romeo and Juliet// but it's already been done, pick another work.

These will each be worth 25 points, so make the outline count.**
