•
1 like•1,051 views
The document provides guidance on writing an effective summary. An effective summary should accurately represent the original work in 200-250 words using the author's own words. It should reveal the main ideas without opinion and attribute ideas to the original author. Quotes should be used sparingly, if at all. The summary should be coherent, thorough, and properly cited as its own unique piece of writing distinct from the original. As an example, the document summarizes David Sedaris' essay "Me Talk Pretty One Day" which recounts the author's experiences learning French in Paris, detailing a cruel teacher but ultimately finding joy in comprehension.

- 2. The Importance of the Summary Applicableinallfieldsofeverything Sometimesalsoreferredtoasanabstract
- 3. Criteria for an Effective Summary •Represents the original piece accurately and fairly •Direct and concise •Reveal the author’s main points without giving your opinion on those points •Use your own words to express the original author’s ideas •Attributive tags!! •Quotes are used sparingly, if at all •The summary is its own unique piece of writing- coherent and thorough •Properly cited
- 4. Me Talk Pretty One Day Representing the essay fairly •He is the protagonist– objective focus on the essay •Economic language: If there is a effective way to say it… •Avoid overly descriptive language •While his writing is sarcastic and at times even culturally caustic, you don’t want your own prose to be sarcastically written
- 5. Me Talk Pretty One Day Use your own words to convey his ideas about living in Paris and speaking French •Distinguish between your summary of his ideas and his ideas by using attributive tags •ATTRIBUTIVE TAGS ARE GREAT!!! •Quotations are not really essential and can be a hindrance to the summary
- 6. Me Talk Pretty One Day The summary is a unified piece of writing in its own right •Your reader will not have to refer to the original piece in order to get the gist of the essay •For your own essay in this class, you will HAVE to limit the number of words in your summary to about 200-250 words, typical of an academic abstract •Examples of citations can be found on page 102-103 (MLA of course)
- 7. In his essay, Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris sarcastically details his life in Paris and a horrible French teacher who would berate him and his fellow French-learning classmates. He talks about how cruel his teacher was, and then he talks about how her cruelty connects to his family life in the United States as well as how learning French was like joining a gang. Obviously, Sedaris wrote this essay as a metaphor for the obstacles we all must face through life. While his writing style is a bit non-linear, it is apparent that a reader can recognize and sympathize with the struggles that we all face. In Me Talk Pretty One Day, originally published in a collection of essays by that same title, David Sedaris recounts a time that he had spent learning French in a school in Paris. He chronicles conversations that weave his personal, humorously portrayed emotions with experiences that he has had in his past, all while sympathizing with his fellow classmates during months of French immersion. Throughout the essay, Sedaris constructs his French teacher to be belittling and sadistic, yet toward the concluding paragraphs, he begins to feel a sense of “great joy” toward his high immersion education, as he has begun to understand every word that she speaks. “The world opened up” for Sedaris at this pinnacle conclusion, capturing his gratitude at the beauty that comes with comprehension. 1. 2.
