Steps in writing a summary of a text:
1) organize notes into an outline which includes main ideas and supporting points but no examples or details (dates,numbers,statistics)
2)write an introductory paragraph that begins with a frame, including an in-text citation of the source and the author as well as reporting verb (present tense) to introduce the main idea.
3) the main idea or argument needs to be included in the first sentence. Then, mention the major aspects/factors/reasons that are discussed in the article/lecture. Give a full reference for this citation at the end of the summary.
4) Support your topic sentence with the necessary reasons or arguments raised by the author/lecturer but omit all references to details, such as dates or statistics.
5)Use discourse markers that reflect the organization and controlling idea of the original.
6) Long summary, paraphrase the topic.

Which of these identifies the significance of the date A.D. 597?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

  A. Marks the beginning of King Arthur´s reign.

Explanation:

  Although I did not find the exact date of King Arthur´s reign is the one that most approximates to the date given.

  The Romans invaded England in A.D. 43.

  English history dated way back before A.D. 597.

  Finally, Alfred the Great became King of Wessex in 871.

   King Arthur was a legendary British leader who led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries.

  I hope this answer helps you.

What theme is developed in the poem bush medicine by konai helu thaman
skad [1K]

A theme that is developed in the poem "Bush Medicine," by Konai Hely Thaman is the following:

- The poem develops the theme of respect and acceptance of old traditions and practical knowledge.

<h3>What is theme?</h3>
  • First, we need to understand that theme is the message underlying a literary work, the idea an author wishes to transmit to readers.

<h3>What is the idea in "Bush Medicine"?</h3>
  • In "Bush Medicine," Tongan author Konai Hely Thaman talks about her grandmother, who was a healer.
  • She used her knowledge of plants to heal the women who came to her in order to treat their ailments.
  • Thaman's grandmother would chew leaves to release their juices, which she would apply to the sores of the women.
  • Thaman mentions "wise men," the doctors of modern medicine, who say "there might be something / to my grandmother's cure." She says she hopes one day they will be sure, like her grandmother was.
  • Her grandmother was not a doctor, but she knew what she was doing. She had practical knowledge that a certain plant would treat a certain sore. That is more than the knowledge many modern doctors have.
  • The women in their village respected the tradition of going to a healer, also sure that they would be properly treated.

  • With that in mind, we can say the poem develops the theme of respect for old knowledge and traditions.
