What am I supposed to do when I am instructed to "retell the story of my novel"? Am I supposed to summary what I have already read or tell the story differently by changing the plot?

Read carefully and let us know what you decide.

Answer 2

I am not entirely certain, but I think I may have been instructed to write a summary. Do you think so as well?

Answer 3

Yes ... simply retell the story in summary fashion, not telling it differently.
