In an analysis of the central idea, one way that supporting EVIDENCE can be cited is by quoting the text. 3. Identify the text that shows how Salak Feels at the beginning of her journey. 4.

Determine Central Idea and Cite Evidence (Lines 119-125) To learn more about an author’s thoughts and motivations in writing a text, it is important to think about the evidence the author provides in the form of details about life and people. 9. Why do you think people take journeys? 10. How does Salak show that she dismisses the idea that people take journeys only to see a place and lean about people? 11. Paraphrase the passage as part of question #10.

Analyze Ideas and Events (Lines 128-138) MOOD or the emotional response a work creates in readers, is created by details. An author uses words to bring readers closer to the most important ideas in a text. 12. What mood does Salak creates in lines 128-138 with the words that she uses to describe the river.
