An example of cause and effect is when the paper flew out the window. Because the paper flew out, Tom went out to retrieve it. “Turning, he saw a sheet of white paper drifting to the floor in a series of arcs, and another sheet, yellow, moving toward the window, caught in the dying current flowing through the narrow opening.” This is the cause. “And he knew he was going out there in the darkness, after the yellow sheet fifteen feet beyond his reach.” This is the effect. One other cause and effect example is when he couldn’t get inside the house. The cause is he couldn’t get inside the house because the window was shut. “He couldn't open the window.” The effect was he had to smash a hole in the class with his fist to get in the house. “Then with full power, with every last scrap of strength he could bring to bear, he shot his arm forward toward the glass.” Cause and effect is one way Jack Finney keeps readers
