What are some examples of big secrets someone has in a story?

Big secrets can cause conflict. In a family drama story, if one family member has a secret about a long - lost inheritance, it can lead to arguments and power struggles among the family. The other family members may act differently towards the one with the secret, which drives the plot forward as relationships are strained and new alliances may form.

One example could be a hidden power source within the Maw that is crucial for its existence. Another might be a long - lost prophecy that is hidden within the Maw and only certain characters can unlock it.

One common secret could be a family inheritance feud. Maybe an old wealthy family in the small town has a hidden will that causes disputes among relatives. Another could be an affair between two prominent community members that they've been hiding for years. And sometimes, there might be a secret about a long - lost treasure buried somewhere in the town that only a few old - timers know about vaguely.

One possible secret could be that Naruto has a hidden power passed down from an ancient clan that he discovers later in the fanfiction. Maybe it's a special chakra ability that gives him an edge in battles.

One example could be a mother's secret about a past relationship that she doesn't want her family to know. Maybe she had a relationship before meeting her husband that ended badly and she's ashamed of some of the things that happened in it.

A common secret could be a character's true heritage. For example, a character might be secretly related to a powerful noble family or a long - lost elven clan. Another example is a secret alliance. A group of characters might be secretly working together against a common enemy without the knowledge of the main characters or the ruling powers in the fanfiction.

In 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennet's decision to reject Mr. Collins' proposal is a significant one. This decision shows her independent spirit and sets her on a path to eventually fall in love with Mr. Darcy. Had she accepted Mr. Collins, the story would have been completely different. Also, in 'The Hunger Games', Katniss Everdeen's decision to volunteer as tribute in place of her sister is a huge decision that changes the story. It takes her into the arena where she faces many challenges and becomes a symbol of resistance against the Capitol.

A common 'big fish story' could be about someone claiming to have caught a fish that was as big as a car. Another might be a story of seeing a fish jump out of the water and it being so large it looked like a small whale.

One big viral story could be the Ice Bucket Challenge. It was a global phenomenon where people poured ice - cold water over themselves to raise awareness for ALS. Another is the 'Harlem Shake' videos that spread like wildfire on the internet. And the story of Malala Yousafzai also went viral as she fought for girls' education in Pakistan.

One example could be a hidden diary found in a grave that reveals a scandalous affair. Another might be a secret about the true identity of the person buried, like they were a spy or had a double life.
