Question

write the summary or CENTRAL IDEA of the poem the river​

Answer 1

It's a short poem, just three stanzas long. Its central idea is that a river can be symbolic of both cleanliness and filth, and both sin and purity of the soul. More specifically, a river can be a place for playing, laughing, dreaming, and bathing: a pure place where a mother and child can belong.

Answer 2

Answer:

The central idea is the central, unifying element of the story, which ties together all of the other elements of fiction used by the author to tell the story. The central idea can be best described as the dominant impression or the universal, generic truth found in the story.
