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.

You should know the name of Homer. Not The Simpsons dad, but a famous poet from Ancient Greece. He wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey, epic stories about war heroes, gods, and the beautiful women for whom they fought. Even if you haven't read his poetry, you might already be familiar with the stories - the Trojan horse, Achilles' tendon, and the beauty of Helen.
English translations of Homer's epic are dense. In Black Ships Before Troy, young adult author and historian Rosemary Sutcliff translates Homer's Iliad for a modern audience. Sutcliff's illustrated book is written for middle school readers.
Like the Iliad, Black Ships recounts the story of the Trojan War, the fight over Helen, the Spartan invasion of Troy, and the eventual fall of Troy. Homer's story is considered a myth and work of epic poetry because it includes the intervention and the lives of gods. However, the Trojan War is a historical event that took place in the 12th century B.C. Let's now take a look at the cast of characters, which includes both gods and men vying for control and power.
