Determining a Central Idea
What is the central idea of this passage?
Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion
as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to
how illnesses spread-physicians believe they know
perfectly well-it is rather that their understanding is
very different from ours. The principal ideas
underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come
from Galen, who lived in the second century A. D.
Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority
when they explain to you that your health depends on a
balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black
bile, phlegm, and blood.
- The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England,
Ian Mortimer

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
