Chapter 9 - Cause and Effect Essay

We are currently working on our second essay in class.  The essay is supposed to be a cause and effect essay.  Chapter 9 in the St. Martins Guide to Writing.  The reading did give me good insight on how to structure my essay, but I must say Im not comfortable with it yet.  Everyone in class was asked to pick an activist or activist group to do our essay on.  I chose to do mine on the National Rifle Association.  I have to admit I found it hard trying to decide what exactly to write about.  I ended up explaining the NRA's association with gun rights vs gun control and the role they play in the legislative process to protect our second amendment right.
