by Stephen Crane
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.

The problem with the summary excerpt is:
It features opinions and judgments.
The summary presents subjective evaluations, such as labeling Henry as "brave" and suggesting that he is "better" than his grandson, Jimmie, which may not be an objective portrayal of the characters' attributes or actions.
