What questions should you ask yourself in order to find the main idea of a passage?

Any passage, no matter the size, has a main idea. Finding it can be as easy as looking to the first sentence of the passage. In most higher-level texts, however, finding the "main idea" can be much more difficult than this. The questions you should ask yourself should be asked after three full readings of the passage. These are the questions I ask myself:
1. Why did the author write this? What is their personal attachment to this topic?
2. What is the focus of the passage? Is it a character? A place?
3. Is there action in the passage? Does the character do something or does something happen at the place?
4. What is the context of this passage? What is going on in both the writing and the author's life that corresponds to this piece.
These four questions will almost always give you a deep understanding of the passage. Combine them and it will give you a simple sentence that is the main idea.

Second order questions are questions about other questions. First order questions can stand by themselves. "Do you like blue?"-first order. "what kind of blue"-second order. Hopefully someone can verify that. More examples: "How to go to library?" - 1st order "Is there a better way to go to library?" - 2nd order
