I can’t watch “Gone With The Wind” could you give me a summary?

My computer is broke and I can’t play “Stairway to Heaven” can you give me a summary?

I can’t watch the movie “Titanic” can you give me a summary? “Tell me” all about the underwater scenes of the REAL Titanic.

Sometimes a “summary” doesn’t cut it.

You’re right. But more often than not, a summary can quite helpful to the reader.

Think about it for a moment. A summary of “Stairway to Heaven” would tell you that it’s a classic hard/folk rock song. So if you’re interested in traditional Christian music, that summary would save you some time. You’d probably take a pass on that song.

It’s no big deal. It’s just a courtesy. No big deal.
