Question

I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

List three details from the text that support the main idea.

Answer 1

I believe the main idea is that the main character began to believe that dragons were real rather than fictional. For example, the text states that "Dragons were described in similar ways by cultures all over the world. This was strange because they couldn't communicate with each other." Dragons were also included with 11 real animals in the Chinese calendar.

Answer 2

I think that the main idea is the main character started to believe that dragons were real instead of fictional. For instance, the text states that "cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was weird because they had no way to communicate with each other." Also, in the Chinese calendar, dragons were included with 11 real animals.
