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.
Answer :
In the book "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie, a white girl named Penelope asks Junior his name. When he answers "Junior," Penelope and his girlfriends laugh. Junior finds this sort of behavior strange and explains to them that there are 17 people by the name of Junior on the rez.
Mr. Grant starts the roll call and junior answers to the name of "Arnold Spirit." This confuses Penelope and she gets upset that Junior did not tell her his real name. Junior is surprised as he has never received this sort of attention from a white girl before and this makes him feel special in a way. He says the lines "“My name is Junior,” I said. “And my name is Arnold. I’m Junior and Arnold. I’m both.”
I felt like two different people inside of one body. No, I felt like a magician slicing myself in half, with Junior living on the north side of the Spokane River and Arnold living on the south." to convey to her that both Junior and Arnold are his names.
