Question

Please help! In at least 150 words, identify the claim, or central idea, in "The Unseen Values," and provide two examples of evidence the author uses to support his claim.

Answer 1

Answer:

The central idea in "The Unseen Values," is the price that the search for security can present.

Explanation:

During the narrative of "The Unseen Values," we are introduced to a family that lives in a highly dangerous neighborhood. This neighborhood is made up of black and white people, however violence has attacked everyone. The author shows the concern of families to ensure the safety of their homes and for that reason they arm their walls with barbed wires that prevent thieves from entering. However, the search for security in a very violent society comes at a high price, since the author shows a child dying in agony trapped in the barbed wires placed on the walls.
