Abbreviation for Recapitulate
A summary, synopsis, or recap is a shorter version of the original. Such a simplification highlights the major points from the much longer subject, such as a text, speech, film, or event. The purpose is to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time.
A written summary starts with a lead, including title, author, text type, and the main idea of the text. It has a clearly arranged structure and is paraphrased with new words without quotations from the text. Unlike a retelling, a summary has no dramatic structure and is written in present tense or historical present. In summaries only indirect speech is used and depictions are avoided. Summaries of books or dissertations present the major facts in scientific language.
Nonfiction summaries serve to familiarize the reader with the subject matter of an entire work in a short space of time. They are written in a balanced and objective way, mirroring the genre’s aim to portray actual events from the author’s point of view. Generally, nonfiction summaries do not offer analysis or assessment.
How long
I said so long
Just go
A thousand hands will carry into foreign lands
And I will point
And smile
I know in your filling your memory back
I need you please
I need you so
Go with the flow
And I? ll watch you go
So go on leave, just go on go
Just to let you know
That I love you so
How long
And so long
Holding hands
You let go you don? t know how this set to me
You need to blow, so grow
And I, as my attentions are I need you please
I need you so
So with the flow
And I? ll watch you go
So go on leave
Just go on go
Just to let you know
That I love you so
I need you please
I need you so
Go with the flow
And I? ll watch you go
So go on leave
Just go on go
Just to let you know
I love you so
And I wave my mind good bye
