Cause/Effect

Cause/Effect
Does My Head Look Big In This?
Author: Randa  Abdel-Fattah

Authors Note: I wrote the cause and the effect about the book Does My Head Look Big In This? And explained  how the cause led to effect in the book and how the cause and the effect would change is the story changed. 

The book Does My Head Look Big In This is a person vs.society because it's about a Muslim teenage girl who is deciding to take hijab (to cover their hair with a scarf) she wants to do it but she doesn’t want other people to think that she is weird or treat her differently than she is already treated. She knows that is the right thing to do but she is to scared and confused on whether or not to do it or not.  

The main effect in the book is that she took the scarf and she embraced her religion and now the cause is that people are looking at her weird and acting different to her. She tries to keep strong while people are treating her differently. If the story changed then the effect wouldn’t be the same because then the cause wouldn’t have the people treating her differently and giving her a hard time.

  1. Something good about this piece is that you really stayed on the main topic and didn't add un-needed details. The only thing I would recommend is that maybe you put a little more detail into it. :)

  2. I really like how in the first paragraph you explain very well what is going on in the story. In the second paragraph I would recommend explaining better what the resolution is because it is a little unclear.

  3. Great job! I think that you chose the right topic for this. I like how you described how she felt about her religion. I would recommend explaining if and how people reacted to her when she did wear the scarf. Other than that, you did a great job explaining why she was scared to do it at first. You also did a good job leading the cause to the effect.
