Highlight the central idea of this paragraph in pink and the supporting details in yellow.

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill

Answer:

The central idea of the paragraph is:

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo

The supporting details are:

<u>"These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror "</u>

<u>"I was now persuaded. . . they were going to kill me"</u>

Explanation:

A central idea of any text is the element that unites and brings together all the other elements used by the author to write the story. It can be the main impression found in the story.

The main impression found in the excerpt is that of a slave arriving at port and how his life would shape up as a slave.

Supporting details of any text provide details, clue or information that support the central idea. They help to validate the central idea.
