Cause and Effect

Authors note: This is a essay about what is the cause and effect in the book Jump Ship to Freedom.

            Cause and effect is in every story. Depending on what a character does, many things will happen because of it. For example, since Daniel stole the notes from Captain Iver, the captain was going to sell Daniel in the Indies. This could of been prevented but there are good things that happened, since Daniel Burned the solider notes that was actually his dead fathers.

            Captain Ivers is Daniel’s owner and the only way he can buy his and his moms freedom, is if he steals his father’s solider notes that Captain Ivers has. There are many events because of what Daniel did. Because of Daniel stealing the notes, Captain Ivers decides he was going to sell him to the Indies because Daniel is too much trouble for him. Another cause and effect is when Daniel jumps off a ship. Because of this, Daniel is hunted down by sailor mate big Tom.

            In conclusion every major event can have big effects on the story. There is always more than 1 event that means there is more than 1 effect. The book Jump Ship to Freedom demonstrates this perfectly.
