Question

How should one write a good summary?

Answer 1

Summarize the text in a paragraph, including the main information.

Explanation:

A summary should cover majority of the book in a couple of sentences.

The summary does not have to be detailed, and minor characters/events are typically ignored.

As you are summarizing the text (or whatever it is), you must include the main points of the text. This includes the plot, setting and character development.

A good way to start is to identify the author's thesis and move on from there.

When writing a summary, you must be neutral in how you present the work. Remember to be concise and get to the point.

Hope this helps :)
