| dc.description.abstract | The word-by word attention required for a good paraphras_e will lead you across all the contours of another writer's thought. You will follow the main trail of meaning, the ridges of fine distinctions, the cutbacks of qualifications, and the waysides of association. Like a patient hiker on a slow trek, you must mentally pull together all the major events of the journey in order to sense the total experience. Writing a summary, on the other hand, allows you to review the entire process as a whole. Unlike the paraphrase writer, who must discover new ways to restate the meaning, the summarizer looks for the most compact restatement.

If there are words you do not know, look them up. If some sentences are confusing, paraphrase them. Identify the main ideas and determine how the less important material relates to those main ideas. In short, read. Once you understand the piece you are summanzlng, you must decide which parts you are going to include in the summary and which . you are going to leave out. Of course, how much material you select depends on how long you want the summary to be and for what purpose you are going to use the summary. However, unless you have a more | en_US |
