Author's Note: I am
writing a Cause & Effect piece for "Dead-man's path". Feedback
would be great.
26 year-old, Michael
Obi, just became the new headmaster of Ndume Central School in the story
"Dead-Man's Path." He wants to make the school more modern. All the
village people have this superstition of Dead-man's path and it's right in
front of the school. For thousands of years people have been walking across
this path. He didn't think that should happen so he blocked it off. This event
was the climax of the story.
Why did Michael Obi
feel the need to block the path? Well, he thinks that he is the smart one and
the village people are dumb for believing in this superstition.
There were harsh consequences for blocking the
path. The priest came to say that he
still has a chance to remove the fence. He refused and kept it up. Someone died right after he
refused to take it down. The next day the villagers trashed the school.
Everything that happened wouldn't have ever happen as long as he didn't put up
the fence.
