Cause and Effect Piece

This is my cause and effect piece. The reason I chose this topic is because I wanted to write something about me.


Sometimes my memory is linked to smells. A few years ago, my parents would always take my brother and I to an indian restaurant. I never liked the smell of curry, so when I went into any indian restaurant, I felt like I was going to throw up. The cause was the curry cooking in the kitchen.

At Thanksgiving, my mom made a soup that had curry in it. Once she started making it, I could smell it all over the house. After a few minutes, I felt like I was going to pass out because the smell seemed so strong to me. So the cause was the smell of the curry, and the effect was my reaction to it: A nauseous feeling. My memory has linked that smell to a negative thought. If curry didn’t smell differently to me, I wouldn’t have that feeling every time I smelled it.
