To determine the central idea of an essay on man, the reader should first FIND OUT THE SUBJECT OF THE ESSAY AND WHAT THE AUTHOR OVERALL OPINION ABOUT THE SUBJECT IS.

The central idea of an essay or text refers to the main idea in the essay; it is the point that the author is trying to pass across to his readers. Some authors clearly state the main idea of their writings while some authors do not, in this case the central idea has to be determined by inference. An essay may have more than one central ideas. Generally, the central idea of an essay can be found in three different places, which are: in the beginning of the essay, near the end of the essay or it can be implied through the sentences used in the essay.

In order to determine the central idea, the reader should first identify the topic of the story in order to understand what is the author trying to convey or send as the reader reads the essay or the story that he or she made.

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author

Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Explanation:

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

A concept.

Explanation:

There are four major categories of informative speeches, defined after the main focus of a speech.

Informative speeches could be about:

objects,
events,
processes and
concepts.

This particular informative speech would be about a concept.

Concepts in informative speeches are whatever is considered more abstract, as they deal with rather abstract topics such as theories, ideas and beliefs.

Here we have theories about how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built so it is safe to say this informative speech would be about a concept.

Often, in written English text, you will find words from _____ that have been adopted into _____.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Foreign languages / English

Explanation:

Writing is a human speech that is either written or spoken. An expression can be established from a foreign word that has been formulated to mean something else in English. This therefore enabled people to converse easily with each other.

Language can also be loosely used in easing the traffic of words that do not have a definite meaning. One can easily learn to use some foreign words without realizing their origin, but in the end, they tend to be used permanently in English.
