The question above wants to analyze your reading and writing skills, through a summary written by you. In that case, it's not correct for me to write this summary for you, but I'll show you how to write it.
A summary is a short, direct, and objective text. The purpose of a summary is to present the most important parts of another text.
Therefore, to write your summary, you must follow these steps:
- You must read and understand the text "A Respectable Woman." In this case, the reading must be done several times, if necessary.
- After reading the text, you should identify the most important parts.
- Create a few sentences that show the main point of these parts, which are important for the reader to understand the entire text.
- Write these sentences and adapt them to make the text coherent and cohesive.
- Avoid plagiarism by using your own words.
