What are the components of a good summary?

Answer 1

it depends on what the book is!! but it is usually best to end it with what you started out saying or recommending the book to someone if it was good maybe if it was bad you can say "now you can see why you souldnt read this book" or something

Answer 2

To make a good summary you must focus on the main ideas and do the following parts:

1.Write an opening sentence that includes the key information (Try not to be too specific)

2.Gather "Key Information" , the important / main ideas.

3.Write a sentence describing each idea.

4.Write down a summary sentence that sums everything up (To gather up all the information and state it in a different way than step 1.)

Answer 3

A good summary should include the topic, and how and why that was important. It should include some extra details about main events. If it is about something you read like a textbook then tell important information and why it was important; if it was a regular reading book, explain the main events of the story.

Answer 4

In a standard book report, a good summary has several distinctive features. First of all, it is accurate: there is nothing in the summary that is not also in what is being summarized. Second, it does not add to what is in the original; or, if it does so, it is very clear that the addition is an addition. Third, it is well organized: even when the book or story or essay (etc.) being summarized is not organized, a report on it will be clearly organized in its own right.

Answer 5

A summary of an article or a book is important because it lets the reader know about the main subject. This will help them decide if they wish to go on reading or not.
