Can i write a novel summary with the first-person point of view?
You have to be careful when you write your summary. If the teacher wants you to write in first person to learn how to write, then you may. Normally a summary is just that. Getting all of the main points of the story and explaining their significance. It should be objective and told in the third person. What you have to be careful of is maintaining the proper tense. The book is, it exists in the present time, and always will exist in the present time. The summary should be in the present tense. This is the hardest thing to do when writing a book summary. A summary shouldn’t be in the first person. It should be chronological (in the order that it happened in the story). If you get the main points and explain why they are important, your teacher will be happy.
