"What did I learn about summary writing this past week?"

Despite my huge devotion of time to the Navy and all their glorious training modules, I was able to refresh my memory on the importance of summary composition and how it affects my writing skills.

Even though I have done it many times before, I have learned the following in regards to summary writing:

• Summary writing helps build communication skills by allowing the writer to communicate a film, documentary, or book to a person who has never seen or heard of it before. This helps the writer develop their descriptive skills. 
• Through my writing, i reminded my self that summary paper is strictly for summery text, meaning I am not allowed to input my own personal analysis (despite how badly I naturally wanted to do so). 
• Finally, I also learned that in summary writing is a tremendous help with building comprehension skills. It takes an awful lot of effort to intake the entire plot of a movie, documentary, or book and summarize the whole darn thing in five to six paragraphs. Of course, i could drone on but I would rather not burden my instructor and peer editors with a twenty page summary.

Anyway, that's what I learned. If you feel you learned something that I didn't mention, feel free to bring it up in the comments. Happy writing!
