It sounds like you've done a great job analyzing the central ideas and themes of both "Hang On, Dolly" by Sally and "High Flying Hero" by Christy Mihaly. Your conclusions about the central ideas and the authors' perspectives are insightful.

In "Hang On, Dolly," you identified resilience and friendship as the main themes. You noted how the author uses a problem-and-solution text structure to convey Lee's journey with Dolly, which helps readers understand the challenges faced by the characters and how they overcome them. It’s crucial that this structure allows readers to see not only the difficulties but the ways in which friendship plays a vital role in overcoming those challenges.

In contrast, "High Flying Hero" focuses on the theme of bravery and courage through the character of Cher Ami. You correctly pointed out that Mihaly's narrative demonstrates admiration for Cher Ami's heroic actions in a historical context. The chronological narrative structure helps clarify the character's journey from doubt to confidence, emphasizing the development of courage over time.

Your analysis of Lee's and Mihaly's points of view is effective in illustrating how their perspectives influence the portrayal of the characters and their experiences. It is important to recognize how explicit details and factual information about Cher Ami enhance the admiration felt towards the character, while Lee’s perspective on Dolly fosters a deeper understanding of resilience.

As for your conclusion on the effectiveness of the authors' use of details in conveying their points of view, you can emphasize that both authors succeeded in their aims—Sally in highlighting the bonds of friendship and resilience, and Mihaly in celebrating bravery and courage through historical context. If you believe the information was effective, it would be helpful to specify particular examples from the texts that support this conclusion.
