Answer:

I agree, I have come to many situations where I am not sure what to say. It always comes down to two paths and only one will be right, the first path is truth, it may be a hard path where you need a lot of willpower, but it is the right path, the second path is lie, this path may look so simple, but this path is a dark path where you can't see or know what is going to happen next. It may look easy but not everything is what it seems.

Answer:

Knowing how to summarize something you have read, seen, or heard is a valuable skill, one you have probably used in many writing assignments. It is important, though, to recognize when you must go beyond describing, explaining, and restating texts and offer a more complex analysis. This handout will help you distinguish between summary and analysis and avoid inappropriate summary in your academic writing.

Is summary a bad thing?

Not necessarily. But it’s important that your keep your assignment and your audience in mind as you write. If your assignment requires an argument with a thesis statement and supporting evidence—as many academic writing assignments do—then you should limit the amount of summary in your paper. You might use summary to provide background, set the stage, or illustrate supporting evidence, but keep it very brief: a few sentences should do the trick. Most of your paper should focus on your argument. (Our handout on argument will help you construct a good one.)

Writing a summary of what you know about your topic before you start drafting your actual paper can sometimes be helpful. If you are unfamiliar with the material you’re analyzing, you may need to summarize what you’ve read in order to understand your reading and get your thoughts in order. Once you figure out what you know about a subject, it’s easier to decide what you want to argue.

You may also want to try some other pre-writing activities that can help you develop your own analysis. Outlining, freewriting, and mapping make it easier to get your thoughts on the page. (Check out our handout on brainstorming for some suggested techniques.)

Why is it so tempting to stick with summary and skip analysis?

Many writers rely too heavily on summary because it is what they can most easily write. If you’re stalled by a difficult writing prompt, summarizing the plot of The Great Gatsby may be more appealing than staring at the computer for three hours and wondering what to say about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s use of color symbolism. After all, the plot is usually the easiest part of a work to understand. Something similar can happen even when what you are writing about has no plot: if you don’t really understand an author’s argument, it might seem easiest to just repeat what he or she said.

To write a more analytical paper, you may need to review the text or film you are writing about, with a focus on the elements that are relevant to your thesis. If possible, carefully consider your writing assignment before reading, viewing, or listening to the material about which you’ll be writing so that your encounter with the material will be more purposeful. (We offer a handout on reading towards writing.)

How do I know if I’m summarizing?

As you read through your essay, ask yourself the following questions:

Am I stating something that would be obvious to a reader or viewer?

Does my essay move through the plot, history, or author’s argument in chronological order, or in the exact same order the author used?

Am I simply describing what happens, where it happens, or whom it happens to?

A “yes” to any of these questions may be a sign that you are summarizing. If you answer yes to the questions below, though, it is a sign that your paper may have more analysis (which is usually a good thing):

Am I making an original argument about the text?

Have I arranged my evidence around my own points, rather than just following the author’s or plot’s order?

Am I explaining why or how an aspect of the text is significant?

Certain phrases are warning signs of summary. Keep an eye out for these:\.

Answer:

Overestimate, availability bias

Explanation:

Availability bias:

It is a phenomenon in which an individual makes the judgment on the base of biased towards the events. The individual easily comes under the influence of the event due to the past availability of the information. For example, if something occurred and the same thing occurred in the past with our strong emotions then we analyze the event with the availability of the experience in the past. The judgment will be biased because of the cloudiness of the past the experience due to which the recent event takes the weight.
