A good summary should include the main ideas or themes, the essential details necessary to understand those ideas, and the overall purpose or message of the original text. Including the main ideas ensures that the core content is conveyed, while essential details support understanding without overwhelming the reader with excessive information. Highlighting the overall purpose or message allows the reader to grasp the writer's intent, making the summary more meaningful and applicable. Together, these characteristics provide a concise yet comprehensive representation of the original material.

A good summary should include the main ideas, important details, and the main point or message of the text. The main ideas help you understand what the story or article is really about. Important details give you extra information that makes the main ideas clearer. Finally, showing the main point helps you see what the author is trying to say, which makes the summary easier to understand. All these parts work together to give a clear picture of the original text!
