The sinking


In the life of pi, lots of interesting things happen,  and most of them are cause and effect cycles ( when someone does something and that effects something and that effects something else). The main event is when the ship sinks.
                pi wakes up and notices something isn't right.
                So the ship starts to sink and that’s the cause. So pi and everyone on the boat wants to get on the lifeboat and that’s an effect. There’s a hyena  on the boat because it jumped in there before everyone else, and that’s a cause.If the hyena didn't get in everyone else would and later everyone would probably be eaten By Richard Parker or they might have starved. Subsequently, pi is let on the lifeboat first  because no one wants to get in (pi doesn’t know there are animals in the lifeboat)and that is another effect. If pi didn't get in he would have died.   A lion gets in the lifeboat, that’s a cause. Then the hyena, a zebra and a few mice get eaten, that’s an effect.

Every day


Every day I make lots of choices. Yes or no, Should I or shouldn’t I, 5 or 973.596, and true or false are some of them. there are so many things that happened in my life  and most of them required a choice and that choice and what happened after I made my choice is also known as Cause and effect.
                One day I, a young boy of 6, wanted to watch Godzilla. So I decided to ask my mom. And she decided that I could watch Godzilla. I was psyched, I never watched Godzilla  before so guess what I did? I chose to run around my couch until the movie was ready. Next, my feet decided to slip on the ground so I slid into my wooden banister and bit my lip very hard. So then My mom chose to get me a small cloth to hold on my lip. After that we drove to the Doctor ( it was my mom’s great decision). The doctor decided that I didn’t need stitches so we went home.

Bold + underline= decision word (cause word).
