Whistle..Whistle-- Racial Double Standards

Yes because when you summarize anything, the person is better informed then reading the information him/herself firsthand? Is this the point your trying to make? The thing is, I know your not lazy your just fishing for ammunition again the poster. If he doesn't give you what you look for, your not satisfied. Your a strange person, you are like a Glenn Beck for democrats.

actually, summaries can enhance the reader's understanding.

for example, if i were to summarize the great gatsby, i would make sure to note the theme of time that reoccurs through the novel. "jumping over sundials", "in the meantime, in between time", the chapter that is merely a timeline of events during the summer, gatsby knocking over the clock when he sees daisy again (and others i'm sure i've missed).

i would also point out that nick carroway has a gay encounter in the elevator while drunk at the end of one chapter. most people would miss that, especially if you're a righty douche like the copy and pasters here.

First of all calling the OP a righty douche is uncalled for, double standard racism is an issue it has gotten out of hand and all it does is cause more racism. I am sure you will try to refute that but anyone with a little logic knows its an elephant in the room. I read a lot, some books are good others bad but regardless I find I only summarize to a person that isnt going to take the time to read it himself anyway or was too lazy. If summarizing is such a good idea as you say, why don't they do that at the beginning of each chapter in curriculum? I am sure our students can pass a test on a summarization of a chapter.

So I assume liking a book is "incapable of original thought"? Liking someone's music is "incapable of original thought"? How many people do you know, when you compliment a song say "really sing it to me"? Your argument is baseless same as you blaming political parties for your personal issues, grow a fucking pair and man up.
