Every time a decision is made, a long string of consequences results. Decisions lead to results which in turn lead to other results. There is never ending. This is shown very well in the movie “Butterfly Effect.” Every time the main character goes back in time and changes one of his decisions, numerous things in his life are altered. Altering one moment in time produces an infinite amount of effects. If I were to go back in time and change my decision to take accelerated English instead of honors English in 11th grade, many things in my life would be different today. I would not have had to ask Carla for help writing this paper.

[The conclusion is a little weak (but not overly bad). Other than a few minor errors and some quibbles with the conclusion, this is an excellent paper. Besides being clever, it is also incisively reasoned. This is an excellent paper.]
Causal Argument
I am looking at a blinking black line on an empty screen. I’ve got nothing. I have a paper to write, and I have spent the last 24 hours trying to figure out what to write. Nothing is coming to me. I can write about why Penn State lost to Michigan: too depressing. I can write about why I asked my girlfriend out last year: this is a 500 word essay, not a novel. I can write about what caused World War II: overdone. I decided to ask for some help. I asked my friend Carla if she had any ideas, and she had nothing either. Why did I ask Carla for help? It was all because of Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the 11th grade honors English teacher.
It was the middle of my sophomore year of high school, and it was time to pick our courses for the following year. My English teacher suggested that I continue on the honors English track even though I was on the cuff, but I had my reservations. The only teacher for 11th grade honors was Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the hardest, most feared teacher in the school. Seeing as how I had several other honors classes already scheduled and was border-line in English, I chose to drop down into accelerated English and avoid the beast, Mrs. Miller-Hosey. My decision to ask Carla for help on this paper is a result of Mrs. Miller-Hosey.
If Mrs. Miller-Hosey hadn’t been a teacher at my high school, I would have taken honors English in 11th grade. My skills were strong enough that with a little bit of hard work, I would have succeeded in the honors course (I breezed through accelerated). I would have then continued on to AP English in 12th grade, the normal track for students in honors 11. After taking that course and honors 11, I would have had the skills to place into English 30 here at Penn State, and would not even have to write this paper. If I had better skills, I would have eliminated the need to write this paper, therefore eliminating the need to ask Carla for help.
What if I didn’t take AP English in 12th grade or didn’t place into English 30? There is no saying that that is definitely the path I would have taken. Who is to say I wouldn’t have taken English 15 regardless of my decision in my sophomore year? There is no certainty of any of this because it didn’t happen, and what doesn’t happen can’t be proven. However, one thing is certain. If I had gone into honors English 11, I would have had much more experience with writing. The course was designed so the students wrote more than those in accelerated English. It would have been a challenge for me, so I would have had to work a lot harder at figuring out what to write about. If I had had that experience, I wouldn’t have needed any help on coming up with a topic for this paper. The fact that I was eventually able to come up with a topic on my own proves that I am capable of doing it, and if I had had more experience in the past, it would have come to me much quicker. If I had taken Honors English 11, I would have had that experience and I wouldn’t have had the difficulty. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach Honors English 11, I would have taken the course. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.

If I were to go back in time and change my decision to take accelerated English instead of honors English in 11th grade, many things in my life would be different today. One of these is my current English status. If I had taken honors 11, I probably would not be in English 15, and as a result, not be writing this paper right now. Even if I were in English 15 and writing the paper, I would have had more experience with writing as a result of taking honors English 11 and AP English 12, and I would have had less of a problem coming up with a topic to write about. I would not have had to ask Carla for help. The reason I didn’t take honors 11 was because of the teacher who taught it. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey did not teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.

The course was designed so the students wrote more than those in accelerated English. It would have been a challenge for me, so I would have had to work a lot harder at figuring out what to write about. If I had had that experience, I wouldn’t have needed any help on coming up with a topic for this paper. The fact that I was eventually able to come up with a topic on my own proves that I am capable of doing it, and if I had had more experience in the past, it would have come to me much quicker. If I had taken Honors English 11, I would have had that experience and I wouldn’t have had the difficulty. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach Honors English 11, I would have taken the course. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.
Every time a decision is made, a long string of consequences results. One decision leads to one result which in turn leads to another result and this is never ending. This is shown very well in the movie “Butterfly Effect.” Every time the main character goes back in time and changes one of his decisions, numerous things in his life are altered. If I were to go back in time and change my decision to take accelerated English instead of honors English in 11th grade, many things in my life would be different today. One of these is my current English status. If I had taken honors 11, I probably would not be in English 15, and as a result, not be writing this paper right now. Even if I were in English 15 and writing the paper, I would have had more experience with writing as a result of taking honors English 11 and AP English 12, and I would have had less of a problem coming up with a topic to write about. I would not have had to ask Carla for help. The reason I didn’t take honors 11 was because of the teacher who taught it. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey did not teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.

I am looking at a blinking black line on an empty screen. I’ve got nothing. I have a paper to write, and I have spent the last 24 hours trying to figure out what to write. Nothing is coming to me. I can write about why Penn State lost to Michigan: too depressing. I can write about why I asked my girlfriend out last year: this is a 500 word essay, not a novel. I can write about what caused World War II: overdone. I decided to ask for some help. I asked my friend Carla if she had any ideas, and she had nothing either. Why did I ask Carla for help? It was all because of Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the 11th grade honors English teacher.
It was the middle of my sophomore year of high school, and it was time to pick our courses for the following year. My English teacher suggested that I continue on the honors English track even though I was on the cuff, but I had my reservations. The only teacher for 11th grade honors was Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the hardest, most feared teacher in the school. Seeing as how I had several other honors classes already scheduled and was border-line in English, I chose to drop down into accelerated English and avoid the beast, Mrs. Miller-Hosey. My decision to ask Carla for help on this paper is a result of Mrs. Miller-Hosey.
If Mrs. Miller-Hosey hadn’t been a teacher at my high school, I would have taken honors English in 11th grade. My skills were strong enough that with a little bit of hard work, I would have succeeded in the honors course (I breezed through accelerated). I would have then continued on to AP English in 12th grade, the normal track for students in honors 11. After taking that course and honors 11, I would have had the skills to place into English 30 here at Penn State, and would not even have to write this paper. If I had better skills, I would have eliminated the need to write this paper, therefore eliminating the need to ask Carla for help.
What if I didn’t take AP English in 12th grade or didn’t place into English 30? There is no saying that that is definitely the path I would have taken. Who is to say I wouldn’t have taken English 15 regardless of my decision in my sophomore year? There is no certainty of any of this because it didn’t happen, and what doesn’t happen can’t be proven.

The course was designed so the students wrote more than those in accelerated English. It would have been a challenge for me, so I would have had to work a lot harder at figuring out what to write about. If I had had that experience, I wouldn’t have needed any help on coming up with a topic for this paper. The fact that I was eventually able to come up with a topic on my own proves that I am capable of doing it, and if I had had more experience in the past, it would have come to me much quicker. If I had taken Honors English 11, I would have had that experience and I wouldn’t have had the difficulty. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach Honors English 11, I would have taken the course. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey didn’t teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.
Every time a decision is made, a long string of consequences results. One decision leads to one result which in turn leads to another result and this is never ending. This is shown very well in the movie “Butterfly Effect.” Every time the main character goes back in time and changes one of his decisions, numerous things in his life are altered. If I were to go back in time and change my decision to take accelerated English instead of honors English in 11th grade, many things in my life would be different today. One of these is my current English status. If I had taken honors 11, I probably would not be in English 15, and as a result, not be writing this paper right now. Even if I were in English 15 and writing the paper, I would have had more experience with writing as a result of taking honors English 11 and AP English 12, and I would have had less of a problem coming up with a topic to write about. I would not have had to ask Carla for help. The reason I didn’t take honors 11 was because of the teacher who taught it. If Mrs. Miller-Hosey did not teach honors English 11, I would not have needed to ask Carla for help.

Causal Argument
I am looking at a blinking black line on an empty screen. I’ve got nothing. I have a paper to write, and I have spent the last 24 hours trying to figure out what to write. Nothing is coming to me. I can write about why Penn State lost to Michigan: too depressing. I can write about why I asked my girlfriend out last year: this is a 500 word essay, not a novel. I can write about what caused World War II: overdone. I decided to ask for some help. I asked my friend Carla if she had any ideas, and she had nothing either. Why did I ask Carla for help? It was all because of Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the 11th grade honors English teacher.
It was the middle of my sophomore year of high school, and it was time to pick our courses for the following year. My English teacher suggested that I continue on the honors English track even though I was on the cuff, but I had my reservations. The only teacher for 11th grade honors was Mrs. Miller-Hosey, the hardest, most feared teacher in the school. Seeing as how I had several other honors classes already scheduled and was border-line in English, I chose to drop down into accelerated English and avoid the beast, Mrs. Miller-Hosey. My decision to ask Carla for help on this paper is a result of Mrs. Miller-Hosey.
If Mrs. Miller-Hosey hadn’t been a teacher at my high school, I would have taken honors English in 11th grade. My skills were strong enough that with a little bit of hard work, I would have succeeded in the honors course (I breezed through accelerated). I would have then continued on to AP English in 12th grade, the normal track for students in honors 11. After taking that course and honors 11, I would have had the skills to place into English 30 here at Penn State, and would not even have to write this paper. If I had better skills, I would have eliminated the need to write this paper, therefore eliminating the need to ask Carla for help.
What if I didn’t take AP English in 12th grade or didn’t place into English 30? There is no saying that that is definitely the path I would have taken. Who is to say I wouldn’t have taken English 15 regardless of my decision in my sophomore year? There is no certainty of any of this because it didn’t happen, and what doesn’t happen can’t be proven.
