Highlight the central idea in pink and supporting details in yellow.I now saw myself deprived of all chance of returning to my native country, or even the least glimpse of hope of gaining the shore, which I now considered as friendly; and I even wished for my former slavery in preference to my present situation, which was filled with horrors of every kind, still heightened by my ignorance of what I was to undergo. I was not long suffered to indulge my grief; I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such a salutation in my nostrils as I had never experienced in my life: so that, with the loathsomeness of the stench, and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat, nor had I the least desire to taste any thing. I now wished for the last friend, death, to relieve me; but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and, on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across I think the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely.Paraphrase the central idea.Paraphrase the supporting details.

Please mark as BRAINLIEST it was very hard

"The first object which saluted my eyes

when i arrived on the coast was the sea,

and a slave ship."

The following are the supporting details

of the paragraph:

"These filled m with astonishment,

which as soon converted into terror

when i was carried on board."

"I was immediately handled and tossed

up to see if I were sound by some of

the crew; and I was not persuaded that

I had gotten into a WORLD of bad spirits,

and that they were going to kill me."

Explanation:

The CENTRAL idea of the paragraph is

when Equiano first sees the sea and

the slave ship, as it is the moment that

will give purpose to the rest of the

paragraph; it is the main point of the

narration.

The supporting details of the paragraph

are what comes after the central idea,

and what build up the paragraph's

structure as they develop the main

idea with more detailed information. In

this CASE, the supporting details show

Equiano's fear as he is taken into the

ship.
