Iwant people to know that she was a great teacher who loved her family and her country. she had the courage to speak out and do something about the injustice. she worked hard to pass redress. when a group of people feel they have been treated unfairly by the government, the us constitution guarantees you the right to redress the government. the japanese americans did that and because the civil liberties act of 1988 was passed by congress, our constitution is strong again. it was weakened by executive order 9066 when president roosevelt ordered 120,000 innocent japanese americans into internment camps. mary tsukamoto always took the initiative to follow her beliefs. she was a respected author (she wrote the book, we the people, a story of internment in america), a political activist and someone who worked for world peace. she was selected by the california state senate as a notable californian. in writing, walk through the process of finding the main idea. then, describe the main idea of the excerpt. be sure to explain your response.

The main idea of the excerpt is to highlight Mary Tsukamoto's achievements. First, she was an excellent teacher and cared for her family and her country. Then, as a political activist she also pursued to compensate victims of unfair treatment. For example, during Roosevelt's internship of Japanese Americans. Finally, the passage points out Mary's significance as a writer and as someone who worked for world peace.

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.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

second person

explanation:

note the heavy uses of "you", "your", as well as "he".
