Question

E
COMPOSITION

In her introductory remarks, the woman who wrote the letter to Mark Twain could have said
what she wanted to say in much fewer words.
Sometimes, if we want to report what someone says, and we do not want to use the exact
words of the speaker, or restate everything the speaker said but want to give a short account,
we create a summary or a précis.
A summary is a condensed version of the original text. A summary includes the main ideas
and major details. It is usually no more than one third of the length of the original text.
Read the paragraph of the story (310 words) that occurs just before Mark Twain's reply to
the woman, beginning with this sentence: One knows, without inquiring, that the twin of that
embarrassing letter is forever and ever flying in this and that and the other direction across the
continent in the mails, daily, nightly, hourly, unceasingly, unrestingly. (35 words)
This first part could be summarized like this:
One knows that such embarrassing letters are forever being mailed across the continent to
(14 words)
Write a summary of the paragraph in approximately 120 words.​
