Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect is an extreme element of any story. It brings the entire story together by connecting the events. Without Cause and Effect, a story will be mixed up and cannot follow the basic concept of building a story. A story typically has 3-4 events, a climax, and a resolution. This concept can only be reached if the story's events are tied in some way.
               When reviewing using Cause and Effect, it is important to thoroughly recognize the events. The writer must understand the Event B is affected by Event A. If Event A doesn't lead into Event B, the story structure can be confusing and flawed. Realizing how the reader gets from the beginning to the story to the end of the story means that the story follows a basic timeline, a basic event concept, and is probably a good story.
