A summary, synopsis, or recap is a shorter version of the original. Such a simplification highlights the major points from the much longer subject, such as a text, speech, film, or event. The purpose is to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time. Example " Fighting for the right to party is to fight for your life". That is a summary about a song.

Written summary

This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to train. Please help improve this article either by rewriting the how-to content or by moving it to Wikiversity or Wikibooks. (November 2009)

A written summary starts with a lead, including title, author, text type, and the main idea of the text. It has a clearly arranged structure and is written in a logical, chronological, and traceable manner. In contrast to a résumé or a review, a summary contains neither interpretation nor rating. Only the opinion of the original writer is reflected – paraphrased with new words without quotations from the text. Unlike a retelling, a summary has no dramatic structure and is written in present tense or historic present. In summaries only indirect speech is used and depictions are avoided. Summaries of books or dissertations present the major facts in common scientific language.

What are the requirements to get a Summary Judgment overturned? What kind of Motion?
Q. When I was ill, in the middle of a court case, the plaintff was granted a Summary Judgment in his favor. Can I now fight this?
Asked by GrapeAddled - Wed Oct 31 22:32:42 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It depends on the procedures in your state, but in CA you would have had over 3 months' notice of the hearing in which to reply or at least notify the court of your illness and ask for a continuance. But you can't just completely ignore something like that without consequence. If not too much time has passed, you might be able to make a motion for reconsideration. Or you might be able to make a motion to set aside the judgment on the grounds of inadvertence, excusable neglect or mistake. But like I said, if you had notice of the hearing and you don't have a really, really good reason for not responding, you are going to have a tough time.

What to write for personal summary for financial aid in college?
Q. I have to write a "personal summary" for part of my financial aid application. I've never been so dumbfounded in my life with writer's block. It says to write 250-400 words, which, to me, isn't much. What sort of things should I include in this summary. Thanks in advance.
