If you don’t do the work, or do it half-a**ed, you won’t exercise the necessary “muscle groups” to make your brain stronger, more flexible, and able to leap tall ideas in a single bound. Would you go to the gym and just sit there expecting to get in shape by osmosis? Would you go to the Grand Canyon and take a mule ride to the bottom, expecting to improve your hiking prowess? Then why do you go to school with that attitude? It’s not supposed to be easy. Nothing worthwhile EVER is. Get off the mule and embrace the challenge. You’ll be amazed at how much better you’ll perform overall if you just shift your view of education from something you have to get through to something you’ll only benefit from if you embrace the trials. No pain, no gain. Period.

Step 1 : Read the book Step 2 : Take note while you read the book (quotes, ressources or link that the author mention, most important points of each chapter). Step 3 : outline your summary. NON-FICTION : 1. Big idea | 2. 3-5 Main points, | 3. 1-2 examples/point. FICTION : The big five somebody (main character), wanted (what character desire or driving the story) but (what to overcome to get the things he desire), so (what he do to solve the problems) , then (solution and what happen at the end of the story). NON-FICTION VS FICTION : NF : Big idea vs F: main character | NF : Main points F : Major events | NF : Takeaway F : Conclusion Step 4 : Length outline : include one of the stories or examples the author tells. what it made you think or feel.

How did you get to college and NEVER write a “book report”? Writing is one of the most important skills you can develop - not only for clear, concise communication, but for learning new material. Astonishing that you’ve come this far without it. But, your case highlights a belief about the capitalization of education in America that is destroying it: replacing old school methods of learning with technology does NOT lead to faster, better learning. It leads to faster, more expensive delivery methods for material that does its user no good whatsoever. The one thing the big tech companies and their government minions who procure this stuff for schools failed to consider is that the human brain hasn’t undergone a single evolutionary change in 50,000 years. Making a book read itself is not going to impact the brain in any meaningful way. It’s the exercise of long hours of reading, thinking, writing and repeating that builds the brain (literally changes the connecting synapses, allowing new and novel connections to exist and enabling faster, better critical thought). All the iPads in the world can’t make young people smarter. And while having a quick, easy source of information in your hip pocket is brilliantly convenient, if you don’t know what to look for, it’s worthless to you. It’s like having a full library available everywhere: if you have no idea what’s in the library or how to apply the information there, you’ll be lost. Technology does NOT resolve that essential truth.

Good question. A summary for that might be just a simple, chronological (i.e., in order) retelling of what happened. Usually a book on the event will also have a perspective or argument they are trying to make about what happened. So I would make sure to include a piece of that in your summary.

@DavidRamosAuthor
3 жыл бұрын
Good questions. I cannot speak to the legal side of this - so anything I say is just from what I've done. The law you want to research is called "FAIR USE". This allows any one to use a certain percentage of a copyrighted material for their own creative or commentary work. Some books limit it to a few hundred words while others (like textbooks) set a percentage (usually 5-10%). If you are summarizing books for profit, you want to make sure that the biggest part of your creation is your own work: paraphrasing, your own analogies and stories, etc. I think watching videos like mine as well as the other awesome creators on KZitem can help give you an idea of what works in the space. Again, none of this is legal advice. Hope it helps though!

@codacreator6162
3 жыл бұрын
To begin with, great writing does not come out as you see it on the pages of your books and stories. It comes out all a mess, out of order (sometimes), using passive language (sometimes), with grammatical errors (sometimes) and punctuation that more closely resembles random spots on the page, if it exists at all. That’s 100% okay. In fact, it’s necessary. The big mistake most young writers make is in trying to match their writing to their favorite story or essay on the first try. Impossible. Chances are extremely good (virtually guaranteed) that your favorite story wasn’t written that way. So, you need a way to transform your writing from the jumbled mess in your head to a coherent work someone else can read. First, write down everything. Everything. Don’t worry about order or fact-checking or using the right word or punctuation. Just blitz it all with this in mind: nobody else will ever read it unless you want them to read it. Write fast, write carelessly, write stuff you think might not even belong. It’s all okay. Nest, go through and mark the stuff you don’t like or doesn’t belong and put the ideas in the best order you can. Then, put it all aside for a couple of days and forget about it. When you pick it up again, read it. Read it like a reader, like you’ve never engaged with it before, and write your thoughts and questions along the way, keeping notes about missing transitions, ideas, organization and ending (I’m sort of straddling fiction and non-fiction here because I’m not certain what you’re writing, but the basic process is the same). Rewrite using your notes and observations. Then, put it aside again and let it sit for a couple of days (if you’re pressed for time, days can be converted to hours, but the effect won’t be as beneficial). When you come back, read it one more time for sentence structure, word choice, spelling, grammar, punctuation. If your teacher doesn’t like compound sentences, for instance, fix them. And so forth. I’ve rarely written anything that didn’t do through at least 3 drafts and often far, far more than that because I have a thing about tone and consistency that compels me to keep polishing. But, at some point you’ll either decide it’s done, that it’s the best piece of writing you’ve ever done or (as in my case) eventually just get sick of looking at it and turn it in the way it is, though you may have niggling suspicions that you forgot to fix something and can’t remember what it was (the writers’ equivalent to leaving the water on) and checking further is impossible because you turned it in. When you feel overwhelmed by an idea, just start writing. Start anywhere. Start with the first thing you think of and just keep on writing until you can’t think anymore. It’s called ‘free writing’ and can be done even in bullet points, if you don’t have much more than partial thoughts. The other thing about writing that young students seem to overlook is that it takes time and focus. You can’t do it while jogging (unless you use a voice recorder - but I’ve always found it difficult to keep my place when just allowing my mouth to run or to get off on wild, lengthy tangents that are easier to spot when you’re actually writing), you can’t write effectively while doing ANYTHING else if you want it to be the best of which you are capable. Every piece of writing you do will reveal a bit about you, build and strengthen your writing skills and expand dramatically your ability to express yourself. In every way imaginable, writing is beneficial to everyone who takes the time to really do it well. When your teacher gives you advanced notice of a writing assignment, do not wait until the night before it’s due to dash it off. You may get the grade you need to pass, but you’ll have done nothing to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the subject or improve your skills. At that point, you might ask yourself why you’re in school at all? Good luck! And remember to relax and enjoy the process. It really is life changing, if you let it.

Hello! Well, it depends on which sentence you're talking about. The first sentence of any paper is the hardest, but my favorite advice came from my high school English teacher. She told us to write an introductory paragraph of 3-4 sentences, then delete all but the last sentence. Her idea was that most people begin papers & paragraphs with "duh" sentences - information both the reader and writer already know. So instead, by using a sentence that's a little further in to begin the paper, the writer tends to say something actually useful/interesting. So, if you're stuck on a beginning/introductory sentence, go ahead a write a few of them and then keep the most interesting one.

How do you put together the summary with all these notes and paraphrase
@DavidRamosAuthor
2 жыл бұрын
That's a great question. While it depends on the book, and the assignment, most often you will simply bring together your notes and paraphrasing into a paper/paragraph that follows that follows the same chronological order as the book. Example: The author begins the book by explaining (insert your summary of chapter 1). They continue by highlight (paraphrase the main points from chapters 2-X). Finally, their conclusion is (insert summary of conclusion). 👆 So this is the order you follow. But how BIG or SHORT your summary actually is depends on how many details you include (e.g., more notes and paraphrases = more sentences for each part of your summary).

Hi, I apologize for pestering you but I am considering doing in-depth summaries of eclectic/paranormal/occult/supernatural books and ancient history, some are hundreds of years old, some are in foreign languages requiring translations. The older ones have very complicates language compared to todays version of English. Given that these are informational in nature and I'm attempting to make the complicated language more simple and easier for those seeking the knowledge within, do you feel that the process for non fiction outlined here would still apply? If not, what type of summary style would you suggest? I was considering something similar to chapter by chapter but some books are HUGE and I feel this might overwhelm the reader given the length a chapter by chapter summary might pose. Thoughts? Thank you for your time.

This is an excellent question, and I love that you want to "revive" some of these precious works for modern audiences. I think a nonfiction outline would be best, but rather than chapter by chapter - I would organize the book around big ideas. I'd start simply, pull out maybe 8-12 ideas, find every reference to them within the book, and then use those sources to construct individual chapters around each idea. The final product won't necessarily produce a chronological retelling of what's in the book, but I don't think that's what readers want anyways - they want access to the biggest, most important ideas in there. In fact, I might begin even smaller and produce a series of blog posts, each one on a single concept/idea from the book. This will give you good practice at sourcing material, organizing your thoughts, and communicating it in a way that readers find attractive.

Congratulations on studying English Manal. I have spent years learning Spanish but am still not very good 😅 (no bueno!). It's best to just take your time and master the basics first. Summarizing books can really help you grasp the language. If you're teacher allows, see if you can start by summarizing a short book or even just English magazine articles. And use those as stepping stones.

Slow down. Read it again and be certain you know the meanings of every word. Draw implications from the key events/descriptions and then draw a conclusion about the overall meaning from those. Trying to blitz through reading is what usually gets young English majors in trouble (that and the fact that they think it’s easy compared to other majors - it’s not, it’s harder in many ways beginning with the amount of reading necessary). It IS true that in other majors there are facts and concepts that leave no room for interpretation and that languages and literature do - so writing what you think without “proving” your conclusions is one of the cooler benefits of the major. But, regurgitating the well-worn path of ideas in lifeless and unengaged essays won’t get you any accolades. If you’re not up to a 100-page challenge, I’m curious as to why you chose this major?

Great question Suha, and this one is really up to you. Most often, these will be done in the past tense. However, if you're doing it for school the teacher might have a preference. The most important part is to remain consistent throughout the summary (so don't switch tenses too much). Hope this helps!

Is it allowed to summarise someone else’s book without their permission? Pls suggest

This is not legal advice, but most publishers allow portions of their content to be used for review purposes. A good summary should offer insights for readers that go beyond just the book's content, making it more review-like in nature.

Depends on how big the book is! I'd try to stick to 3-5 max. The fewer you include, the more you'll be able to cover each one in depth.
