Chapter 14

Summaries are something we have been writing for school for quite some time, however, this chapter goes more in depth than anything I've ever been taught. They talk a lot about making the summary short and to the point. There should not be extra information that the reader does not need to know right away. Also, the summary should not be written in a technical manner. It should be written so that it is easy to understand instead of trying to be technical and confusing the reader. After writing the summary you should go back and double check your summary against the original copy to be sure you covered all of the main points. It is important the reader of your summary is able to find each of the main points of the reading in your summary.
