Central ideas are the most IMPORTANT ideas in a text.
They are the central, unifying and definite themes or ideas of an article or story. They cover all the aspects that are needed in order to create a main idea that is coherent. Without a central idea the text would not be coherent as it could addres different topics that have nothing in common, making it senseless. In an essay the central ideas are supported by the arguments, for example a central idea could be: Bees are important for our planet. In that case supporting ideas can be: They pollinate flowers. They make honey.
As you can see they are the spine and base of the text.
<span>While I was changing my shirt, I d**n near gave my kid sister Phoebe a buzz, though. I certainly felt like talking to her on the phone. Somebody with sense and all. But I couldn't take a chance on giving her a buzz, because she was only a little kid and she wouldn't have been up, let alone anywhere near the phone. I thought of maybe hanging up if my parents answered, but that wouldn't've worked, either. They'd know it was me. My mother always knows it's me. She's psychic. But I certainly wouldn't have minded shooting the cr*p with old Phoebe for a while.</span>
Answer:
In literature, when the author uses exaggeration/oversimplification of certain character traits, it is referred to as a caricature. Often insulting, caricatures can also be complimentary or even have a political purpose.
In George Orwell's political allegory, <em>Animal farm</em>, Squealer is one of the three most important animals who rebel against their human farmer. Squealer comes as a clever character with good persuasion techniques. He is, however, quite selfish and power-hungry (like most of the leaders). The very fact that he is described as having a difficulty with seeing "out of his eyes" speaks volumes about both his physical appearance and personality. He is a very fat pig, indeed, but he also only cares about his own interests.
