In 3-5 sentences, answer the following questions.
1. What information should a summary include? (Include at least 3 characteristics of a good summary in your response.)
2. Identify one thing that a summary should NOT include, and explain why. (4 points)
1. A summary should include the main points or key ideas of the original text while also providing the reader with a clear understanding of the overall content. A good summary should be concise, accurately represent the original text, and be written in the summarizer's own words, while also avoiding any personal opinions or biases.
2. A summary should not include any new information or ideas that are not present in the original text. The purpose of a summary is to condense and present the existing information, not to add or interpret it. Including new information would not be an accurate representation of the original content and could potentially mislead the reader.

The cricket sang, and set the sun. And workmen finished one by one. Their seam the day upon. The low grass loaded with dew, the twilight stood as strangers do with hat in hand, polite and new, to stay as if, or go. A vastness, as a neighbor came- a wisdom without face or name. A peace, as hemispheres at home- and so the night became.
