How Does Cause & Effect Relate To The Book,  Chains?

Authors Note: This is an essay about the Cause & Effect of the Historical Fiction book, Chains.

        In this situation, the main characters, Isabel and Ruth, just went through a rough time.  The Girl’s mother and owner, Miss Mary Finch,  just died, and Miss Mary Finch’s will had said, that they are too be let free when she dies. But, that is not what happened, Miss Mary’s nephew claimed that the girl’s were to be his slaves, they had a argument with the priest, the girls, and Miss Mary’s nephew.  He took the girl’s and he sold them to these snobby, stuck up, rich people, who are really mean… This is not what Isabel and Ruth wanted, at all!

       

        Since the girls’ mother and former owner died, Ruth and Isabel are to be sold instead of being free. If they hadn’t gone to the priest and asked him where they should go, they would’ve ‘escaped’ this whole conflict, but they probably would’ve been found and people would start to wonder where they are, and why are there two little slave girls running around, trying to find a home.

       

        I chose to compare this cause and effect of the story because it was confusing to me at first, until I read more of the story.  Basically, the main cause and effect of the story was, since they went to the priest and talked to him, and since their mother and Miss Mary Finch had died, they had to be sold and continue being slaves, but with a couple that was very rude to the girls’.   This is my understanding of cause and effect.
