The problem with the summary excerpt is that it has opinions and judgments. The phrasing such as "ungrateful grandson" suggests a personal judgment about Jimmie's character. Additionally, stating that Henry is "a better person" than Jimmie introduces a subjective perspective rather than maintaining an objective summary of the events.
A brave man named Henry Fleming is a veteran living in a village. He has an ungrateful grandson named Jimmie. After Henry admits that he once ran away during a battle, Jimmie begins to think his grandfather is a coward. Henry proves just how wrong Jimmie is when he runs into a burning barn to save some animals. The grandfather dies when the roof collapses. In the process, Henry shows just how much better a person he is than his grandson.
