I am in need of some help with my 4-6 paragraph summaries on discrimination. I posted yesterday but couldn't get the paper going with the ideas posted. Not to offend my helper/teacher/instructor.

Keri Ann, Laruen -- please use the same name for all of your posts.

We've given you several ideas. You need to read them, think, write, think, and write!

After you've written and proofed your essay, please post it and we'll help you.

(Remember -- you're the person who wants to go to Harvard -- so you must be able to think and study to get into any good college.)

I guess I hadn't noticed the "name" difference. I will keep that in mind. I will give the paper another go. Could be writer's block????

Of course, Keri! I'm here to help you with your 4-6 paragraph summaries on discrimination. Writing summaries can sometimes be challenging, but with the right approach, you can create an effective summary that highlights the key points.

To begin with, it's important to revisit the ideas you have already posted and see how they can be incorporated into your summary. However, if those ideas didn't work for you, it's perfectly fine to explore alternative approaches as well. Remember, the goal of a summary is to condense the main ideas of a text into a concise overview.

Here is a step-by-step approach to help you write your summaries:

1. Read the text thoroughly: Before attempting to summarize, make sure you fully understand the original material. Pay attention to the main arguments or ideas presented.

2. Identify the key points: Highlight or make notes about the most important concepts, evidence, or examples related to discrimination in the text. These will form the backbone of your summary.

3. Start with an introductory sentence: Begin your summary by framing the topic and providing context. This will give the reader a clear understanding of what you will be discussing.

4. Summarize the main ideas: Craft a concise summary of each main idea you identified in the text. Be sure to use your own words and avoid copying directly from the original material. Focus on conveying the essential information while omitting minor details and examples.

5. Connect the main ideas: Use transitional words or phrases to smoothly transition between the different main ideas. This will help create a logical flow in your summary.

6. Write a concluding sentence: Conclude your summary by briefly reiterating the significance of the main points you have discussed. This will provide closure to your summary.

Remember, when writing summaries, it's crucial to maintain a neutral and objective tone. Your goal is to accurately convey the information without injecting personal opinions or biases.

By following these steps, you should be able to craft a comprehensive summary that effectively summarizes the core aspects of discrimination. If you have any specific questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
