My Brother Sam Is Dead Cause And Effect

Decent Essays
In My Brother Sam Is Dead there are many cause and effects. I am going to give you some examples. I am going to use Sam Taking the Brown Bess as a cause. There are many effects to this. The first one is Farther almost getting killed. If they had the gun then they could give it to the generals. Don’t think all the effects I am going to give you are bad. There are also good effects. Second, Sam is protected. Third, the Merkers are not protected. Some people may say this is an effect but I do not think this is. Father getting killed if he shot the Cowboys then he would be shot by a different Cowboy. That was just one of the Cause and effects.
