I finally understood the difference between *summary, essay and paraphrase. *

A **summary** is a brief statement of a writer's ideas.

So you don't need to:
- use quotations

- paraphrase

- include your own interpretations

- slant on the material

- give details, facts, examples and illustrations.

Give the main points only. Write in your own words.
