Document Summary
Scholarly writing that operates at a high level can be difficult to summarize: when writers use abstractions rather than specific examples or details, those details need, adding your own examples can allow to you see how well you understand the original to be added to a summary argument and provides reader access, these examples illustrate the summarizer"s position: they provide your perspective without attributing it to the original author, you must construct" the lower levels in your own summary. Summarizing narrative: narratives, or chronicles of events, are typically provided in the order they occurred, narratives are most common in history and literary studies, they are usually related at a low level, to summarize narratives for scholarly purposes, write a conceptual summary that supplies the missing high level concepts through abstractions, avoid simple plot summary" by using your abstractions interpretively to further your argument or reading.
