How to Determine Cause and Effect

If we talk about the relationship between causes and effects, the first thing that probably comes in our minds is our existence and the existence of this entire universe. The example of existence can be the best way to describe the relationship between causes and effects. The very existence and expansion of this universe depend upon the big bang that happened millions of years ago. In this example, Big Bang is the cause, and the existence and expansion of this universe is the effect. When you wake up in the morning for work or college, it is usually due to the alarm that was ringing beside your head. Again, the alarm is the cause, and you waking up was the effect. The relationship of cause and effect can be seen in a lot of events happening around us daily. We are surrounded by events and happenings that are based on this phenomenon.

How to Write with Cause and Effect

Writing consists of powerful words, a sensible flow that brings life to your story so that the reader can read it well. As we need a proper recipe with all the necessary ingredients, the author will have to build an appropriate structure for story writing. Writing with cause and effect are the core elements.

Structuring the story timeline with cause and effect must include everything that you are going highlight. The explanation that you are going to convey depends on the word count of your writing material. First of all, you will categorize your story into parts that are; Topic, Introduction, Body, Explanation, Conclusion.

It is the fundamental way of writing paragraphs, stories, with cause and effect. Start your work with brainstorming and webbing whatever comes to your mind related to the topic you want to prepare. It will consist of related words. Then, you will move towards the introduction that will be the cream of your writing cake. You describe something little that will associate with the introduction. An explanation will consist of your message that you want to convey. A conclusion will be the remainder of what you had taught in the introduction.
