The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

One Saturday, Gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. I couldn't study all the time. One book that caught my attention was the Malawi Junior Integrated Science book, used by Form Four students. Hmm, I thought, and flipped it open. There were lots of pictures and diagrams, which I found easy to understand. I saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. One picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.

What is the primary idea that the details in the excerpt tell a reader about Kamkwamba?

Answer:

He is intelligent despite his lack of education.

Explanation:

William Kamkwamba was a young boy from Malawi, a country where a great hunger and drought prevailed. As a young uneducated boy he had a dream to bring water and electricity to his poor town but he was greatly mocked by people around him.

The primary idea from the excerpt tells the reader about William high level of intelligence due to his ability to understand the pictures and diagrams in the science textbook despite the fact that he is not properly educated.

WHAT ARE CONTEXT CLUES AND CONNOTATIONS??!??!? help me!
Ksivusya [100]

Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word within a book. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers or it may follow in the next sentence. A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection.

marshall27 [118]

The author develops the theme of the story through the oppressive scenario and the unstable emotional state of the characters.

<h3>What is the theme?</h3>
  • It is the message conveyed by the text.
  • It is teaching presented to the reader while reading.

In "Condensed milk" we can see that psychological instability, violence, and oppression are highly limiting elements and should not be encouraged.

The author uses this as the theme of the story and develops this theme through a very oppressive scenario, where the characters are treated with violence and terror. This environment manipulates the characters' minds, making them wish for death and life at the same time, without being able to conclude what they should do.
