What is the best way to write a plot summary?
I am using a 3 sentences method, each about one of this points:Opening. While mainly answering the 4W questions; who, what, where, when. Who is the MC? Where is the story take place? When did it happened? What is happening?Main arc. This is where you explain what goes wrong, and Why. Oh, your Hero had to collect some ancient relics, but the relics were stolen by some bandits. Why was it stolen? Why does anyone care about the ugly, clay relics??Closing. This is the part where everything goes wrong FASTER and TOUGHER, but leads to a ride towards the sunset. Also, include the answer of the final question here, How does he took the relics and save the world?Write down those 3 points sentences, and you can expand it to be an actual summary. If you are trying to write a blurb, stop in the middle of point 2, and tease the reader with the question Why and How.Goodluck!

What is a plot summary?
“A plot summary is a condensed version of a piece of literature; a brief retelling of the story. A plot summary does not deal with the deeper meaning of the work. Example of plot summary In Kate Chopin’s short story, “The Story of an Hour,” the main character learns that her husband died in a train accident. Mrs. Mallard cries at first, but when she is left alone in her room, she begins to realise that her husband’s death will ultimately free her to live her own life. After she bravely comes back downstairs, she is surprised when her husband walks through the door. He had not been anywhere near the accident. Mrs. Mallard then drops dead of a heart attack.” It is also highly recommended to visit this page.Source:https://www.lipscomb.edu/writing...
What is the plot summary of the movie “Raw”?
I’m presuming that you mean the French film (2016) Raw.Justine a young vegetarian goes to study at a remote vet school.Her sister Alexia is in the year above.New students are submitted to a prolonged hazing ritual, humiliation, bullying and extreme partying. One of the things they must do is eat a raw rabbits kidney and have blood poured over them.The heroine of the story develops an allergic reaction and her skin begins to rash and peel. From this point she undergoes a metamorphosis as her sexual desires and new desire to consume meat come into play.She becomes increasingly alienated from the rest of her year and feels pressured into losing her virginity, which she does to her gay male roommate.In the middle of the film she spends an evening with her sister, who whilst trying to wax her accidentally has her finger chopped off with scissors. She faints, then awakes to find Justine eating her finger.The film spirals from this point as Alexia and Justine realise they have similar desires. Although Alexia’s intent is murderous - demonstrated when she deliberately causes a car crash and later in the film when she kills and eats Justine’s roomate while he is sleeping.The climax of the movie is in two scenes, firstly Alexia is visited by the family in a mental hospital. Then finally at home her father confides in her that her mother has the same longing for human flesh and he shows Justine deep scars on his chest.Although the main points here there is real empathy in this movie and I wouldn’t lump it specifically with horror or as a cannibal movie although there will be people who are put off and think that is all that it is. There are a few graphic gory scenes but nothing prolonged. It is as much a coming of age movie and a comedy as it is those other things. Powerful on many levels.

How to avoid mere plot summary?
Your teacher just means she doesn't want you reciting a mini form of the book off by heart, because then it would probably have been better to have everyone just read the book. She gave you hints, though. She talked about theme; so look for a message from the author. The message won't be clear, or straightforward. You'll have to draw it out from the events in the book, and support your theory with evidence from the text. But if you can do this, it will be an excellent presentation. For example (using a different book), I gave a presentation on Pride and Prejudice. I gave a summary of the plot, and introduced the main female characters and the male characters they're eventually paired with. Then, according to the opinions of the time, I ranked each marriage in terms of prestige - as in, how 'good' each marriage would have been seen as in that time. From those rankings, I stated that the author was 'rewarding' her characters for their personality traits, and showed how the characters with certain traits ended up with better marriages.
What is the plot summary of SMALL STEPS?
After being released from the ill-managed Camp Green Lake, 17 year-old Theodore "Armpit" Johnson tries to rebuild a civilian life in Austin, Texas. His job is to dig trenches for the mayor of East Austin. He is a friend of Ginny McDonald, who has cerebral palsy, and who helps him with his so-called "silly" speech about bringing a stuffed animal and saying why it should be ruler of the world. X-Ray comes in and makes a deal with Armpit about selling cheap Kaira DeLeon concert tickets to people who are in East Austin for more money than the original cost. After selling most of the tickets, they eventually are stuck with 2 left. Despite the high demand for their last two tickets, X-Ray makes counterfeit copies and gives them to Armpit so he can take Tatiana. However, Tatiana cancels it, and he takes Ginny. Ginny has a seizure and Armpit almost gets arrested, and a sequence of events happens until Armpit and Ginny meet Kaira DeLeon, and watch from behind the speakers. They eventually become good friends, when El Genuis plots to kill Kaira. After hitting her multiple times with a baseball bat, and stabbing Fred, Armpit comes in, and despite getting his arm broken by the bat, disarms him, and beats him. Police eventually come, and Kaira later recovers. She then is able to sing by February, albeit in a wavering, fragile voice.
-What is the plot summary of animal farm?
Animal Farm begins with a very drunk Mr. Jones (owner of Manor Farm) doing a really crumby job of, you know, his job. The neglected animals listen to a wise old pig, old Major, who encourages them all to rebel and run the farm themselves. Above all, he says, everyone should be equal. Then he dies. Everyone is excited except for Benjamin, a cynical donkey whose main job in life is to be, well, cynical. The animals do rebel, and the pigs, being the smartest animals, naturally take the leadership role (so much for that equality business). There is some immediate conflict between two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon wants to sit around and be in charge of everything, while Snowball wants to teach the other animals (Imagine!) and build a windmill. Napoleon uses nine ferocious and enormous dogs (which he stole when they were young) to become the All Powerful Dominant Boss Leader Chief Pig. He doesn’t call it that, but it’s in the back of his mind somewhere. So Snowball is out of the picture, which is convenient for blaming everything on him. The pigs exploit the other animals shamelessly, breaking all the rules that they had established after the Rebellion. Things fall apart: life on the farm gets worse and worse, the animals forget old Major’s original dream, and the pigs make some poor management decisions when dealing with the neighboring farms. The culminating miserable moment comes when the pigs send Boxer, a hardworking and loyal horse who is ready for retirement, to his death. Ouch. In short, the pigs are starting to look a lot like the horrible human owners that we started with at the beginning of this whole mess. They may even be worse. So old cynical Benjamin was right.
