Author’s Note: “ This is a cause and effect piece about the
story Casey At The Bat.”
It is the bottom of the ninth for Mudville’s Baseball team
and Casey is up to bat. The game is tied 4 to 4 and the crowd roars as Casey
steps up to bat because he is Mudville’s only chance of winning the game. He takes his mark and the first pitch is
thrown, Casey doesn’t even swing his bat. “Strike One,” the umpire calls. Casey
did the same thing to the next pitch and the umpire yelled,”Strike Two!” This
was it, if Casey missed this ball, the game was over, and if he made it his
team would win the game.
As the last pitch was
thrown Casey swung but missed the ball, the game was over and Mudville had
lost. As an effect the crowd was silent and Mudville shaked hands with the
other team disappointed in themselves and Casey. If Casey would have gotten a
home run this story would have changed completely. The crowd would have stood up and cheered and
the team would all get in a huddle and shout, “We did it!” But instead their
team lost and they went home sad because of their failure.
Great job Maddie!(: I really liked how you set it up having him actually get two strikes instead of just telling readers that he had two strikes. If you kind of get what I'm saying. Anyway, good job!
