Summary of Graduation Present
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college, and he had admired a sports car in a dealer’s showroom. As Graduation Day approached, he opened a beautiful gift box from his father and found a leather-bound Bible with his name. He was disappointed it and angry to his father. After, he stormed out of the house and left the Bible. Many years passed, his father had passed away. When he went back to his father’s house and searched something. He saw the Bible and pages, and he read those words, and a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words” PAID IN FULL”.

1. What do you like best about your peer's summary? (Why? How might he or she do more of it?)
I think Fay’s structure is great, and her summary is clear to understand the story.
2. Is it clear what is being summarized? (i.e. Did your peer list the source, and cite it correctly?)
Actually, it is clear. Fay wrote down the key words.
3. Is the thesis of the original essay clear in the summary? (If not, write out what you think that thesis is.)
I think it is clear, but I think it is needless to descript the article such as a leather-bound Bible.
4. If you have read the original source, did you identify the same thesis? (If not, how does it differ?)
Yes, but I think I will have more description about the process instead of the article.
5. Did your peer miss any key points from his or her summary? (If so, what are they?)
Yes, Fay missed the verse that the father wanted to tell to his son. I think that is more important than the sports car.
6. Did your peer include any of his own opinions in his or her summary? (If so, what are they?)
No, Fay did not add her own opinions in her summary.
7. Did your peer include any unimportant details in his or her summary? (If so, what are they?)
Yes, just like my opinion in Question 3.
8. Were any points in the summary lost? (If so, where and how might it be fixed? Why do you think it might be important?)
In my opinions, Fay can read more and more essays; it can help her to find where the key point is.
