Some of the cultural stories towards summary's are
1. That professors always want a plot summary.
2. That a summary is always what the piece of work was about.
3. Every piece should be summarized in no more than two paragraphs.
I am not sure if I did this assignment correctly but that is what our culture expects for summary's. What many feel a professor always assigns is a plot summary and wants us to tell what the work was about and not what we thought about it. Which unfortunately, is not always the case.
Professors say they want a summary but when a student hears the word summary they think that the professor means that they want a small paragraph of what the work was about. Many do not think about the other ways a summary can be represented and this is where I think when I present the facts of the summary in the interview, the people will understand what I mean by the different types and not what us as a cultural norm understand.
