When we did them in school, they were usually assigned as one to three paragraphs, i.e.:<BR/><BR/>Afterburn by S.L. Viehl<BR/>'Zangian weapons expert Sublieutenant Byorn mu Znora (Burn) wants to become a pilot, but must prove himself after causing a training simulation to end in disaster. He has his chance when he rescues an Ylydii diplomatic envoy en route to a peace summit from raiders. Burn's courage results in him being assigned to guard the peace summit. Burn offends Carada, the Ylydii ambassador, but grows close to Liana, Carada's daughter. During several attempts to sabotage the summit, Burn's efforts to protect Liana lead him to evidence that she may be involved in the conspiracy.... (etc.) <BR/><BR/>Disclaimer: if this is a school assignment, check with your instructor to make sure that my explanation jives with their interpretation of plot synopses and summaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1170085978742467342007-01-29T10:52:00.000-05:002007-01-29T10:52:00.000-05:00Jess, I'm mumbling in jealousy too. ;)I think I'm...Jess, I'm mumbling in jealousy too. ;)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to buy the full version of pot boiler.

Can somebody PLEASE explain what the difference is between a plot synopsis and a plot summary? My goodness it's driving me crazy. I know there IS one. They aren't both simply a "summation of events". So... anybody? anybody? (Beuller?) *tears hair*<BR/>Jess<BR/>Thanks in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
