Authors Note: This is a cause and effect essay about the novel April Morning that will help my score with the cause and effect section for the text structure.
In April Morning, by Howard Fast is about Adam who is a young 15 year old boy that is tired of getting told what to do from his father. Finally Adam gives up with what his father has to say and goes to sign up for the military to go and fight against the Red Coasts. When he goes to sign up he sees his father, Adam thought that he would get in major trouble from him, but his dad let him sign up. Adam was surprised that his dad would let him go ahead and sign this. Before Adams father was a mean man to Adam because he thought that Adam couldn’t do anything, that he wasn’t good enough for anything, so that is why Adam went to sign up. To prove his father wrong, that he is good enough and that he can do something in his life.
The thing that made Adam want to go into war was his father. His father was always putting him down and Adam was sick of it. Adam wanted to sign up for the committee but his dad said no because he didn’t think that he was man enough. If Adams father would have been a little nicer to Adam maybe he wouldn’t have wanted to sign up for war. The climax to this novel is Adam signing up for war. The effects to this are that he will have to leave his family and the girl that he really likes, Ruth Simmons. If Adam were to go into the war he would have to leave everything behind and he could die in war. Because of his dad, Adam wants to leave and go into the war.
Brandon I think that you did a good job writing this piece. I think that the word choice could be a little better though. One thing that helps me is if you are writing your piece on word. If you right click on a word and scroll down to were it says synonyms you can find other words that may be a more advanced word to use in place of the word you may have for example. If you had the word run in the piece, you do so and it will show you synonyms like bolt or jog which are more advanced words. But overall I think you did a great job on telling us how in April Morning Adam was trying to prove his father wrong.
