CAUSES AND EFFECTS

Planning a Death by Playing Scrabble

            Who had been killed in the short story Death by Scrabble? Death by Scrabble is an interesting story written by Charlie Fish. The following paragraphs are about causes and effects for the husband to sit with his wife and playing scrabble.

            There are some causes when the husband playing scrabble with his wife. Firstly, the husband hates his wife more when his wife asked to play scrabble together. The husband would be doing something interesting if his wife’s was not around such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, starring in the latest Hollywood blockbuster and sailing the Vendee Globe on a 60-foot clipper called the New Horizons. Secondly, this also caused the husband to cheat while playing the game. The husband stole a blank tile from the letter bag when his wife was not looking, and threw back a V from his rack. His wife gave him a suspicious look to the husband and then she just ignored him. Lastly, the husband wants to kill his wife by using scrabble, he played with horrible words such as EXPLODES and QUAKE as he knew the game was jinxed.

            Now we talk about effects when the husband playing scrabble with his wife. Firstly, the husband does not love his wife anymore because of his wife attitude. For example, the husband mentioned that his wife likes to sleep. Secondly, their marriage seemed to be failed because there appears to be no communication between husband and wife. Lastly, the husband got killed because of the B that he was chewing on gets lodged in his throat and he was choking to death. His wife did not help him at all.

             In the nutshell, the husband hates his wife more because he was forced to play scrabble with her. In my opinion, they need to strengthen their relationship by doing interesting activities together in order to save their marriage.
