Cause and Effect
You found a way to travel through time, but something you do on your travel has an effect on the outcome of the world. Tell the story describing how one action has an effect.
I blame my horrible day on homework. If it hadn 't been for an upcoming test for history, I wouldn 't be in this pickle. I suppose it’s partly my fault. I could have skipped the procrastination and balanced my time traveling duties with studying, but responsibility has never been my forte.
My job today is to keep a famous diplomat of the past from choking on his pudding. Because being a trainee of the Time Management Agency means little influence, I am only given the day he is in danger. I don 't expect the second, but I would have liked to know

I wake up and head to history class. The teacher walks in front of the old stadium seats of the run-down community college. Her cherry red hair is pulled up in a severe bun despite her paint splattered shirt.
“During this period of the Victorian era we are studying the influence of one important man.” She clicks the remote for the slides and a picture of Ferdinand appears on the projector. He must have been more important than I thought. Hopefully, my time spent in the past wouldn 't go to waste. Something occurs to me, and I raise my hand.
She notices me before she starts the next part of the lecture. “Yes?”
I lower my hand. “I thought we had a test today?”
She says we don 't and continues. I am slightly confused, but definitely not disappointed.
“Ferdinand Musqivich,” she says, “is a diplomatic power who shaped the world as we know it. He is known for his insight and intuition. He had so much instinct in fact, that many consider him a seer or prophet. This isn 't just silly gossip though. He mentioned events before they happened and acted before there were mere whisperings.”
She talks on for a while as my eyebrows furrow. These events she was mentioning didn 't seem right. I hadn 't even heard of this man until yesterday. Why was she acting like he was so significant? My memory recalls her mentioning he was
She tries to make conversation by talking about his son in order to make a connection with something that he is closely related to. This is very ironic due to the atmosphere
I asks is that's what she wanted to do, however, she sounds very confuses so I suggested to her to call us back if needed.
“I do not think you have ever mentioned it, but your father was a good man. The people of Luneos admired him.”
“A yeah I just put the time period of 1905 Albert Einstein .” Paisley says with an ashamed smile. “I needed to study about him.”
People are influenced by decisions made in the past. Every situation that a person comes upon can change what happens in the future and because of human's ability to choose we can gain or lose from it. In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, decisions made by himself and others around him in the past alter the fathers future.
Write about something that happened to you in a cause and effect essay. What happened? What caused it? What was the effect? How did it end and what did you learn from it?
Today, when I copied off of Audrey's homework, I know there's no excuse for what I did. I am the one that didn't finish the homework. I am the one who asked her for her homework. It is my fault. But what I hate most about that moment, was that it didn't occur to me that what I was doing was wrong. I hate it.
I was starting to worry, it is getting dark out.” She told me kissing my forehead. “Now come help me with dinner.’ Taking my hand and dragging me away, but not before I could see the smugness of my brother’s face. I sent him a glare before making it into the kitchen. The rest of the night went on, and rather like other nights when we’ve been together. We sat down, ate, and talked. Nothing particularly special about the rest of that night, excepting George’s visit. Still though, this was one of the few occasions we could actually all come together. At least one that was enjoyable. The next morning was one I was genuinely looking forward to. But when I woke up hearing Mum calling me. So I had gotten dressed, in a skirt this time, in an effort to silence her. I left my room expecting to see my mother making breakfast. But instead seeing two officers of sorts, waiting at the open door. With my mother and father standing in front of
Here is the dialogue that tells us about her- and her relation to her husband.
Moving forward through time,
At the end of the day, this new teacher sits down at her desk – for what seems like the first time that day and begins to reflect back on the
“Would they really be so careless to say all this over open radio?” Thomas, the British liaison that worked in the office, asked as he walked over to read the note. “I mean, it could be an ambush or something of that nature.”
In a regular day, I wake up around 6:20. I comb my hair and get dressed for CEO. I usually skip breakfast because sometimes we get donuts for class and other times I just go to Freida’s after class. During CEO we usually go to a business everyday. If not we go to our home base and work on our gala. So far we haven’t had much time to work on it, even though the date is getting nearer. After class I head to the school for AP Calc. Surprisingly, it’s the easiest class I have. After the lesson we have “homework” that is never due. I have never done an assignment in that class, but don't tell Mrs. Wesby. I still ace all the tests so I don’t see a reason to do the work and the extra time in class is useful to work on things from other classes. Next,
Timeliness is important in all aspects of life. In the army they say “10 minutes prior is on time, and being on time is late”, that is the standard set forth and expected to be accomplished by the armed forces. By oversleeping I not only failed to meet the standard, I also failed my squad and my platoon because they did not have accountability of everyone, another main standard of the army. I also took the time of my team leader, who had to sit and wait for me while everyone else did PT. Missing movement not only cost me more time in the end, it cost the whole rest of the unit in one way or another. Timeliness is also the first step in a soldiers’ task to keep accountability at all times. Accountability is defined by
She believes that this man will appear "...with gentle and penetrating eyes, who - with no exchange of words - understood; and before whose glance her foot straightened and her eyes dropped. The someone had no face, no form, no voice, no odor. He was a simple Presence, an all-embracing tenderness with strength and a promise of rest....She had only to lay her head on his chest and he will lead her away to the sea, to the city, to the woods...forever." (Morrison, p. 113)
