Essay #1: Summary of “How Doctors Die”
Summary Essay for part one
Description
Sometimes, the central idea of an essay is in the introduction, and the supporting ideas are presented one-by-one in the following paragraphs. Frequently, however, the thesis, or central idea, is implied or suggested. Thus, you will have to work harder to figure out what the author wants their readers to understand. Whether or not the main idea is stated or implied, a good summary always can present it, explain it, and connect it to the supporting details.
Your task in this paper is to summarize the main idea of Murray’s essay. You will do this in the first paragraph of your paper. Along with finding and expressing the central idea of Murray’s text, you will then analyze key supporting details in the body paragraphs of your essay. Finally, in the conclusion, you will use the evidence you have summarized to provide your thoughts about the main idea of the article.
Writing Task
Write a summary essay that accurately presents Murray’s main ideas along with some key supporting details.
