Cause/Effect: The Westing Game

Authors Note: This is a short essay on the book The Westing Game. This is a cause/effect piece on a specific part of the story and what would happen if it as changed.

The book The Westing Game, is about Mr. Westing getting murdered, and how 16 people have to find out who did it. When Sandy dies in front of the heirs, it is soon after revealed by Turtle to be Sam Westing in disguise. Sandy dies because she drinks too much lemon juice in a glass and dies in front of everybody. 

Now because Sandy died in front of everybody, Mr. Westing died as well. If Sandy didn't drink the lemon juice, nobody would have knew it was Mr. Westing. Then Mr. Westing would have never been found and nobody would have won the Westing Game. Although Mr. Westing did die, nobody won the Westing Game because nobody killed Mr. Westing, and so everybody lost.
