The following are three elements of the plot that contain a cause and effect relationship. These are stated as sentences beginning with the word because and ending with the effect that occurred.
In the beginning of the story, Roger attempts to steal Mrs. Jones' purse. It is a large purse and Roger falls backwards from its weight when he snatches it from behind her. Because Roger tries to steal her purse and falls, Mrs. Jones kicks him, snatches him up, and drags him home with her.
A bit later in the story, Mrs. Jones leaves Roger alone in a room of her home with the door open. Because she is a big woman and has already intimidated him by dragging him home as she did, Roger chooses to wash up as, she orders him to do, rather than run out of the open door.
Mrs. Jones insists on feeding Roger a portion of her small meal and dessert even though he attempted to steal her purse. Because Roger appears so under-nourished and she thinks he tried to steal the purse for money, Mrs. Jones shares her meal with him.
