Et godt resume?
Jeg ved godt at man ikke skal gå i detaljer og det skal være udelukkende objektivt.. Men udover det? Nogle guldkorn der er nogle der kan komme med?
Jeg har lavet et kort resume her, som jeg håbede i lige ville smide en kommentar til.. er det godt/dårligt? (det er ikke rettelse af grammatik jeg tænker på her, bare en kommentar til om i får noget ud af at læse det :)
Takker :)

MY SON THE FANATIC – A RESUME
Parvez is confused – his son Ali has changed his behaviour. He has thrown out a lot of his things, not to mention that he has broken up with his English girlfriend.
Parvez, who works as a Taxi-driver, has emigrated from Pakistan to England to give his son a good chance to get educated. At work, Parvez has met Betina, who's a prostitute. He feels safe around her, and shares his thoughts about Ali's strange behaviour with her. At first, she suggests, that Ali could be a drug addict. But after a while, it's clear for both of them, that this is not the case.
Parvez discovers that his son is praying five times a day, which brings up memories of his own childhood in a strict, religious society in Pakistan.
Parvez decides to take a night off, and go out with his son - "to talk things over", and though Ali refuses, Parvez gets his will. After this evening, it’s clear to Parvez that his son Ali is a fanatic Muslim. When he explains his attitude to western education and laws, Parvez gets both confused and baffled, and tries his best to talk his son into changing the fanatic attitude - with no luck.
Then one night, Betina is sitting in Parvez car, when they drive by Ali. Parvez picks him up at Betina's wish. She wants to talk to him. The moment Ali realises what Betina's profession is, he talks condescendingly to her, and refuses to listen to her. Betina throws herself out of the car, and disappears. When they return home, Parvez starts to drink, and ends up beating up Ali in his room.

Anyways..har lige haft den tekst i skolen (Gymnasie 2.g) og det ser jo meget godt ud.
Bare husk at et resumé ikke skal være en appetitvækker eller en salgstekst. Den skal forklare rimelig kort om hvad hele teksten handler om..intet mere og intet mindre.
PS. Til slutningen kunne du tilføje det som Ali siger til sin far: "So who's the fanatic now?" Det er nok noget af det vigtigste i hele teksten..

A summary is addressed to a reader who does not know the text that is summarized. Consequently, facts essential for the reader’s understanding of the text must be included.
Answers to the questions: Who? What? When? Where? should be given in a summary.
A summary should be precise and to the point. Its focus should be on describing the main points of the summarized text without including subjective comments.
The first sentence of a summary should sum up the main theme or topic of the text.
A summary is characterized by its brevity – it must be quite short! Do not exceed the required number of words.
Usually quotations, direct speech or detailed explanations or examples are not included in a summary.
Since a summary is not an interpretation, answers to questions: How? And: Why? Do NOT belong in a summary.
A summary is always written in the 3rd person and in the present tense.

Du kan ikke begynde et resumé med at skrive "Parvez is confused". Ingen ved hvem denne Parvez er, -i hvert i fald ikke den uvidende læser. Du er nødt til at præsentere ham og fortælle hvem han og er, og hvad hans rolle i fortælingen er.
Læs også grundigt den gode kommentar i # 3.
