Seeing others gain happiness from sharing encourages others. On page 271, the villagers tell the monks, “With the gifts you gave given, we will always have plenty. You have shown us that sharing makes us all richer.” How does this detail help explain the main idea? It shows that the villagers have learned that sharing can bring happiness.

Use Reference Sources Books such as dictionaries, thesauruses, atlases, and encyclopedias are reference sources that they can use when locating information for a report or an essay. All of these materials are also available on the Internet. Books, maps, charts, and photographs are other useful reference materials.

Use Reference Sources cont. Thesauruses are organized alphabetically, in the same way that dictionaries are organized. The words listed after an entry are synonyms for the entry word. They, too, are listed alphabetically. A thesaurus may also list antonyms for the entry word. Let’s work with the word happy. A thesaurus can help you find more exact or interesting words to use in your writing. T330
