Cause and Effect Essay
Essay 5 project, Comp 1
How does a cause and effect essay work?
Cause and effect essays identify a specific action, product, or effect, and then explain or expose the two ends of causes: what happened before, and what is most likely to happen afterward.This gives writers a pretty standard structure within which to explain and explore, and it gives readers a reasonable set of structure and content expectations.
When something happens, we tend to ask why.This is a natural way to think.However, we are so accustomed to looking backward to seeing what happened so we can apply that knowledge to future actions that we forget the wisdom of looking further down the chain to see the effects of decisions and actions already made.
Good cause and effect papers start with specifics.Choose topics you might feel less invested in so you can hold less back from the process.You might want to start with a decision that has impacted your life, the life of someone you know, or even your community.Generate as many details about the actual decision as you can.It might help to use a template like this to get started:
What decision regarding ___________ did I or someone else make that has affected me or people I know?What action concerning this topic have I or someone else taken, and how has that affected me?
Your final draft should be double spaced, in 12 point font, with your name and date at the top of page one.
Happy writing!

Life is all about the choices we make as they determine the kind of activities, place, and activities an individual conducts. It is important to observe the kind of engagements with make in our day to day living as they all have impacts in the short or long-term basis. I have witnessed my friend and colleague taking up a life-changing event that made her a better and comfortable person than before just because of determination. Everyone is responsible for the kind of life they lead in terms of how they enjoy it as one is free to make up his/her mind and move towards the positive direction.
Health is a major issue that determines the happiness and confidence level of an individual especially when it has to do with their physical appearances and the contrary is related to distress.
