Josie is writing a response to literature for the short story “The Treasure” by Tony Vista. Read the following paragraph from the story.


The day began like any other, with dew on the grass and the baby birds outside Theo’s window screeching for food. Theo had his usual cereal for breakfast and then loaded his heavy books in his backpack. But instead of walking on the right side of the street on the way to school, Theo walked on the left side. And that’s how he tripped on a crack, landed hard on his elbow, and noticed the pile of diamonds lying under the bush next to the sidewalk.


Josie wants her claim to talk about cause and effect. How is cause and effect used in the story?
A.
The cause is the dew on the grass, and the effect is the baby birds screeching.
B.
The cause is that Theo has a heavy backpack, and the effect is that this makes Theo trip.
C.
The cause is that Theo has cereal for breakfast, and the effect is that his backpack is heavy.
D.
The cause is that Theo walks on the left side of the street, and the effect is that he trips and finds a pile of diamonds.

Josie desires that her assertion discuss cause and effect. Theo trips and discovers a pile of diamonds as a result of walking on the left side of the roadway, hence option D is correct.

In the narrative, cause and effect are utilized to explain how Theo's choice to cross the street on the left results in him tripping over a crack and coming across a collection of diamonds.

The cause is that Theo walks on the left side of the street, and the effect is that he trips and finds a pile of diamonds. The most pertinent cause-and-effect connection in the narrative that Josie might use to back up her assertion.

A New England Nun
by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

In about half an hour Joe Dagget came. She heard his heavy step on the walk and rose and took off her pink and white apron. Under that was still another—white linen with a little cambric edging on the bottom; that was Louisa's company apron. She never wore it without her calico sewing apron over it unless she had a guest. She had barely folded the pink and white one with methodical haste and laid it in a table drawer when the door opened and Joe Dagget entered. He seemed to fill up the whole room. A little yellow canary that had been asleep in his green cage at the south window woke up and fluttered wildly, beating his little yellow wings against the wires. He always did so when Joe Dagget came into the room.

"Good-evening," said Louisa. She extended her hand with a kind of solemn cordiality.

"Good-evening, Louisa," returned the man, in a loud voice.

She placed a chair for him, and they sat facing each other, with the table between them. . . .

Presently, Dagget began fingering the books on the table. There was a square red autograph album and a Young Lady's Gift-Book, which had belonged to Louisa's mother. He took them up one after the other and opened them; then laid them down again, the album on the Gift-Book.

Louisa kept eyeing them with mild uneasiness. Finally she rose and changed the position of the books, putting the album underneath. That was the way they had been arranged in the first place.

Dagget gave an awkward little laugh. "Now what difference did it make which book was on top?" he said.

Louisa looked at him with a deprecating smile. "I always keep them that way," she murmured.

"You do beat everything," said Dagget, trying to laugh again. His large face was flushed.

A Spark Neglected Burns the House
by Leo Tolstoy (adapted excerpt)
There once lived in a village a peasant named Iván Stcherbakóf. He was comfortably off, In the prime of life, the best worker in the village, and
had three sons all able to work. The eldest was married, the second about to marry, and the third was a big lad who could mind the horses and
was already beginning to plough. Ivan's wife was an able and thrifty woman, and they were fortunate in having a quiet, hard-working daughter-
in-law. There was nothing to prevent in and his family from living happily. They had only one Idle mouth to feed; that was Iván's old father,
who suffered from asthma and had been lying Ill for seven years. Man had all he needed three horses and a colt, a cow with a calf, and fifteen
sheep. The women made all the clothing for the family, besides helping in the fields, and the men tilled the land. They always had grain enough
of their own to last over beyond the next harvest and sold enough oats to pay the taxes and meet their other needs. So Iván and his children
might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor, Limping Gabriel, the son of Gordéy
Ivanof.
As long as old Gordéy was alive and Ivan's father was still able to manage the household, the peasants lived as neighbors should. If the women
of either house happened to want a sleve or a tub, or the men required a sack, or if a cart-wheel got broken and could not be mended at once,
they used to send to the other house, and helped each other in neighborly fashion. When a calf strayed into the neighbor's thrashing-ground,
they would just drive it out, and only say, "Don't let it get in again, our grain is lying there." And such things as locking up the barns and
outhouses, hiding things from one another, or backbiting were never thought of in those days.
That was in the fathers' time. When the sons came to be at the head of the familles, everything changed.

"But we do deny it we do deny it!" cried the elders. "For
at that very time our king was sojourning at Troezen on
the other side of the Saronic Sea, and he knew nothing of
the young prince's death. We ourselves managed the
city's affairs while he was abroad, and we know whereof
we speak. Androgeos was slain, not through the king's
orders but by the king's nephews, who hoped to rouse
your anger against Aegeus so that you would drive him
from Athens and leave the kingdom to one of them."
