In writing, walk through the process of finding the main idea. then, describe the main idea of the excerpt and why it is central.

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

Main idea: “Mary Tsukamoto always took the initiative to follow her beliefs.”

Why: The other sentences support the idea that Mary Tsukamoto worked hard to right the wrongs of Japanese internment whether she was teaching, raising her family, or writing a book.

it wouldnt be considered cheating as long as you dont copy the answered we give here word from word.

also remember that some online schools have things that can tell if you have copy and pasted anything into your report.
