2. What qualifies this paper as a summary? What are the requirements for this genre and how did you meet them?
This paper is qualified as a summary because it sums up the story and puts the main ideas of the story all into one paragraph. The requirements were to make a summary which I did and to make sure all the events were in order which i also did.
3. What piece of advice would you give someone writing a summary for the first time? Why?
I would tell them to write down all the main points first and put them in order from the time they happened. This will make your summary go way smoother.
