Cause and Effect In Chapter 4 you learned how authors structure text to talk about cause and effect. Authors use cause and effect to show how one event can lead to another event. Often there are several causes, just as there can be several different effects. When you first read a text, you may find it difficult to determine individual causes and effects. Sometimes authors use signal words to let you know that they are describing a cause or an effect. Signal words for causes include because, when, if, cause, and reason. Words like then, so, which, effect, response, and result signal an effect. Read the following sentences and notice how the signal words help you locate the cause and effect in each statement. “The reason you storm the beaches is not patriotism or bravery. It’s that sense of not wanting to fail your buddies.” (page 576) CAUSE The first two sentences contain signal words for causes. Notice how the effect in the second sentence is stated even though it does not have a signal word. If the German army captured Stalingrad, the Soviets would be cut off from the resources they needed to stay in the war. (page 585) In March 1942, decoded Japanese messages alerted the United States to the Japanese attack on New Guinea. In response, Admiral Nimitz sent two carriers . . . to intercept the Japanese in the Coral Sea. (page 582) Because most Americans opposed large tax increases, Congress refused to raise taxes as high as Roosevelt requested. As a result, the extra taxes collected covered only 45 percent of the cost of the war. (page 593) EFFECT The third sentence includes a signal word for an effect. The last sentence contains signal words for both the cause and the effect. As you read through Chapter 12, note the cause and effect signal words to locate important information in the reading. When you find a signal word, make sure you understand both parts of the information—the cause of an event as well as the event’s effect. 570
