I need a 750 word summary of Stephen King’s “Reading to Write”. I have attached the piece written by Stephen King.
Be sure that you have a nuanced understanding of the text based on close reading and note-taking.
Your primary task is to recount the main ideas of the text for a reader who has not read the original. In order to indicate that you’ve grasped the main ideas, you need to be able to put them into your own words and sentence structures. For this assignment, you don’t need to quote directly from the text. An effective summary essay has a clear opening paragraph that identifies the text and author while summarizing the thesis or main argument. The body of your essay should include the main ideas of each stage of thought, along with any supporting details that you think are necessary for an audience unfamiliar with the original to follow the author’s reasoning.
The last page wouldn’t upload so I typed the ending:
“some observations about the way it is written — King’s word choices, the kinds of voice he uses, the kinds of stories he tells — and consider what you might learn, as a budding writer, from reading it.”
