Daedalus and Icarus again...

This time, the exercise turn out to be to write a summary for Daedalus and Icarus. Writing a summary is never easy as one page long story needs to be shorten into 200 words! And it is a story!

Usually, i write summary on factual passage, because it has its points to highlight. While in a story, it is just like writting a shoter version of the story. The summary has to consist of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. There are many details that need to be summaries. Then the summary will not sound like a story anymore as the version is much shorter.

Fortunately, there are guidance given by lecturer. He asked us to identify the development of the plot in the story. He used picture to highlight what is important in the text. Hence, writing a story's summary turns out to be much easier.

Therefore, writing a summary out of story is a skill. It needs a wide range of vocabulary to express the feeling of the story.
