Read the excerpt from My Story.

How is this excerpt structured?

Cause and effect.

The sentence uses "because" to give the cause (whites could afford cars) and the effect (more of us rode the buses). The next sentence describes the resulting consequence—humiliation from having to ride segregated buses regularly.
