Writing an Essay
Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect


A cause and effect essay attempts to determine objective reasons that answer “why” about a question. While more than one answer is always possible, the writer attempts to present the most logical explanations for the subject at hand.
 

  • Select a subject by asking, Why? Remember to consider the length of your assignment.

  •  
  • Test each hypothesis to determine which answers “Why” to your specific question. Arrange the explanations in the best order for the desired effect: e.g., chronological or reverse; effect before cause; cause before effect.
