- Q1The story "The Rug Merchant" comes from james Michener's autobiography, The World is My Home: A Memoir. The author traveled all over the world, transforming his observations into books and films. Many of his visits blossomed into books with titles a travel agent would love: Tales of the South Pacific, Hawaii, Caravans, Chesapeake, Poland, Texas, Alaska, and Caribbean. Since Michener's books often relate fascinating histories and describe exotic lands, Hollywood producers have snapped them up and turned them into screenplays for feature films and television movies, such as Space. Perhaps his most popular work was a series of eighteen related sketches that recalled his travels in the navy during World War II. The book, called Tales of the South Pacific, won him a Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into a musical and a movie. The play, called South Pacific, became an American classic. Other films based on Michener's works include Hawaii, Sayonara, and Return to Paradise. Which of the following is the implied central idea of this text?Many of Michener's books were made into films.James Michener wanted to travel into space.James Michener liked to travel.James Michener is a popular and well-traveled writer.30s
