My statement of purpose is that I am going to identify who actually understands the term "summary" and the different forms of it. When one hears the statement from a professor, "Give me a summary", most would think to give a plot summary, which is a description of what the piece of work is about and what genre it belongs to. But little do many know that there are different types of summary's.
The information I need to gather is information about all the different types of summary's and how people identify them. Then I will go to English majors, preferably ones in my classes and interview them while recording. The questions I will ask them are
1. Are you aware of what a summary is and in their own words can they describe a summary?
2. What is the purpose of a summary?
I am still trying to figure out where I will go from there and have started researching further.
