You Have Seen Their Faces

Sometimes the main idea of a paragraph is not directly stated but implied. Examine the first paragraph of “You Have Seen Their Faces.” Notice that the implied main idea of this paragraph is a contrast between the fertile soil of the Mississippi Delta and the Black Belt and the poor soil in other areas. Write a paragraph about two contrasting people, places, or things. Imply the main idea through descriptive language without directly stating the idea.
