Summarizing and Analysis
Check out Analyzing vs. Summarizing in the English Writing Guide.
When addressing a summary it is normally based on two things, a short explanation, and main points on the events that occur in the story. When summarizing something one thing not to do is state feelings or opinions about the story. Summarizing events in a story does not involve thoughts. After reading a story and summarizing it the reader is just suppose to make it easier for people who have not read the story yet, and summarize it in a few words. Now analysis of a story or anything someone reads would be different, because the reader states a opinion, and something argumentative. One example of a summary would be: In the story the Three Little Pigs the pigs whose mom couldn't provide for them sent them out to seek their own fortune. All three pigs built their own individual houses, the first out of stick, the second out of straw, and the third out of brick. There was a big bad wolf going around and huffing and puffing and blew both the first and second pig's house down, and ate them all up. Once the wolf got to the third pigs house built out of brick, he wasn't so successful. The wolf decided to climb up the chimney, but little did he know the pig had boiling water waiting for the wolf as he came down. And the pig had him for supper. See, that was a summery of the story Three Little Pigs. A analysis would be that in the story the three little pigs, the pigs are represented as people struggling for good fortune and trying to build a stable life, while the wolf, is represented as the economic problems.
