The Norton Introduction To Literature Chapter 27

Chapter 27 in The Norton Introduction to Literature talks about Paraphrase, summary, and description. This chapter explains how to practice writing an essay and even completing an essay using three different key points. This chapter helps you to understand paraphrasing, summarizing, and even describing someone’s work. This chapter also talks about the different forms of writing and an essay is just one way. Learning how to paraphrase, summarize, and how to use description will help produce an essay worthy of the original piece of work.
Chapter 27 talks about paraphrasing. When you paraphrase you rewrite something in your own words. This paper is my way of paraphrasing chapter 27 in the book. When you paraphrase something you rewrite a statement or a fact in your own way. It’s rewriting something in your voice. Paraphrasing also shows your understanding of what has been written while showing certain key points in that writing. The book mentions that paraphrasing is like translating. When you paraphrase a piece of work it’s almost as if you are helping someone understand what has been written. Paraphrasing isn’t only helpful for your essay it’s also helpful to people who don’t understand what was written.
This paper is my way of summarizing chapter 27. Summaries are a great way to explain and show the plot of stories. Since summarizing is also done in your own words it can be used to show your interpretation of that writing. The book also states that summaries are generally shorter than the original; however, each summary can be as long as you want them to be. Summaries can also contain just one sentence. Summaries are just like paraphrases in some way. Both are written in your own words and both show your understanding of the original writing. Summarizing can also be seen as a way of helping other people understand the point of the original
