The central or main idea either refers to the point or purpose of a paragraph or it refers to the summary of a piece of writing. These two concepts are closely related in a piece of writing because the point of each paragraph should contribute to the point of the entire piece of writing. In order to discover the point or purpose of a paragraph, one must first identify the topic of the piece of writing. Then, one must identify the structure or medium used to discuss the topic. Finally, for a paragraph, one should identify the sentences that the other sentences seem to support, and for an entire text, one should identify the statement or idea that the paragraphs seem to discuss or support. When this process is applied to the excerpt from An Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto, I come up with the following answers:

Topic: Japanese internment

Structure: Interview

Central Idea: "I think the saddest memory is the day we had to leave our farm."

Why: The first sentence is the main idea because the sentences that follow it support it. The first few sentences explain why the memory is so devastating. The last few sentences explain that the most devastating aspect was that the family was forced to leave for no legal or just reason.

What 3 things do Americans often think of about Mexico
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Historically, the image of Mexico spread by the American mass media focused on sticking out negative points. Mexico was pepicted as a synonym for crime and drug trafficking, a refuge for repeat offenders from across the region, in contrast to the United States, a country of educated, wealthy, and successful people.

With the advent of cinema at the end of the 19th century, a similar tendency grew, in view of the fact that ideas about Mexico began to be taken for the most part from cinema, and not from literature and the press.

Which motive is most likely behind Cassius comment to Brutus that every one doth wish you had but that opinion of yourself which
mafiozo [28]
Cassius is trying to build Brutus up here. He knows that Brutus is humble and that everyone respects and loves him, but he wants to reinforce that fact to Brutus so he is willing to trust all of the conspirators that Cassius brought with him to Brutus' house. He is also trying to sneak in a sense that everyone wishes Brutus would understand that he's just as good (if not better) than Caesar.
