Choose a story from today's St. Petersburg Times that focuses on a problem where you can begin to think about causes and effects. Write a brief summary of the article. What is the main issue? Then talk about how the writer establishes cause and effect and clarifies this relationship. Include quotations from the article.
Given the sports section, the only problem I have discovered was USF's basketball team's fight to be recognized as a contender in the Big East and the overall nation. In summary, the article focuses on Dominique Jones, who is quoted as being possibly "the nation's best shooting guard," yet he is still not satisfied. The writer discusses how his determination inspires him to be better, and therefore increasing his averaging points per game. Jones states that from all his hard work, an effect will be taking his team to the NCAA tournament and leaving with USF basketball being "a winning program where (they'll) always be a contender in the Big East and the nation." Working hard in college basketball, may result in him achieving his main goal of being an NBA allstar.
