A central idea in the article about the life of Susan Butcher is that a childhood passion for animals and the outdoors became the focus of her entire life. The author develops this idea by describing some important events of Butcher's life and by inserting descriptions of intense moments in her Iditarod racing experiences. In addition to explaining how Butcher became interested in dog racing as a teen, the author gives a history lesson about how the famous Iditarod race actually grew out of a real event. When Butcher learned of the Iditarod story, she decided to race in the modern Iditarod race and began training herself and her dogs. The author also explains how Butcher educated herself with veterinary classes in order to care for sled dogs and other animals, how she lived independently in Alaska for a time working hard to train herself and her dogs to build strength I and endurance, and how her experiences with her dogs taught her about the importance of building trust with her animals as well as about the dangers of racing. The author also explains how Butcher's determination helped her become a winner. The descriptions of hardships such as living alone in the Alaskan wild show that Butcher was an extraordinary person who focused in achieving her goal of racing in the Iditarod. The author keeps the reader interested by adding descriptions of close calls she experienced, like the one when her dog Tekla disobeyed her command but kept her from sliding into icy waters. The article includes information about the times Butcher did not win the Iditarod but kept racing, and that shows her determination to follow her passion. Another way the writer develops the central idea is to insert a story about a time Butcher was nearly drowned. The article begins with a dramatic description of Butcher's experience of falling through ice into cold water with her dogs. But only part of the story is told then. More of it is told later in the article after the reader has lots of background information about dog-sled racing and about Butcher's years of preparation for the Iditarod. can someone please help me put this in your own words please guys is for tomorrow ​
