When writing a summary of a story, it is important to <u>focus on the main conflicts and occurrences</u>. The purpose of a summary is, after all, to give the same information but in fewer words.
For narrative texts, such as the one we summarized here, we should focus on: <u>who the main characters are; what the main conflict is; how the conflict is solved. In this case</u>:
- main characters: Carolina and her father - adventurers and divers;
- main conflict: find the missing bow of a ship;
- solution: Carolina spots something in the water; they dive and find the bow.
<u>Keep in mind that summaries should never include your own opinion nor should they add information.</u>
In conclusion, a summary is a smaller text that provides the same information of the original text by focusing on its main topics.
