Summary and Paraphrase
Paraphrase
Rewording what the author said in your own words.
Paraphrase
Example
Original:
To be, or not to be, this is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die -- to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd.
Paraphrase
The question facing me is, "Should I go on living or kill myself?" Would it be more virtous to put up with my problems or end them by suicide? Dying is like a final sleep, a sleep that uts an end to the troubles that living entails, a desirable final resolution to it all.
