To write a good cause and effect essay, one needs to be aware of all the relevant issues about the topic at hand. One needs to remember that writing such an essay is not about merely asking a ‘why’ question and answering it. It is a detailed discussion into the causes of a specific event or feature and a further discussion on the results or effects of the same. When you were in Grade V, you would remember that your teacher kept encouraging you to ask as many questions as possible. This was done in order to ensure that by asking many questions, you got to know more and more about something. If a child kept asking how an elephant could keep track of the rest of its herd by just the sense of smell, it was because the child could not comprehend that this was actually possible.

Writing can be a pain if you are not in the mood to do it. Unfortunately, an article essay needs to be done at all levels of school and college. There is no point in trying to imagine that you could go through college without doing a single piece of writing. This is not possible even if your guardian angel is working to look after your best interests, round the clock. There are always supervisors, teachers and professors looking through their rimmed or rimless glasses, trying to pin you down to a deadline that you think is totally unreasonable. Here you are, coping as best as you could under the weight of the many books that you need to carry to college! You certainly could do without this kind of hawk like supervision.
