Highlight the central idea in pink and supporting details in yellow.
Their complexions too, differing so much from ours, their long hair and the language they spoke (which was very different from any I had ever heard) united to confirm in me this belief. Indeed such were the horrors of my views and fears at the moment that, if ten thousand worlds had been my own, I would have freely parted with them all to have exchanged my condition with that of the meanest slave in my own country. When I looked round the ship too and saw a large furnace or copper boiling and a multitude of black people of every description chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow, I no longer doubted of my fate; and quite overpowered with horror and anguish, I fell motionless on the deck and fainted.

The central idea and the supporting details, for the given paragraph, are as follows.
- The given paragraph is a narrative by Olaudah Equiano, who was an Igbo abolitionist and a writer, who was believed to be a self-proclaimed West African. He was enslaved when he was a child.
- The given paragraph is when he accounts for his experience and he recalls his feelings when he did arrive at a ship, as a slave in his childhood. This ship was to transport him, along with others.
- The central idea of the paragraph is that, when he looked toward the faces of others, after getting on the ship, who were mostly black people, and how they had been chained, along with how different were the captors looking, he realized/understood what his fate was going to be. Such an experience and scenes made him feel motionless and due to this, he fainted on the ship deck.
