Synopsis

A synopsis is a summary. To be more exact, the definition given by the Oxford English Dictionary says “ ** 1. ** A brief or condensed statement presenting a combined or general view of something; a table, or set of paragraphs or headings, so arranged as to exhibit all the parts or divisions of a subject or work at one view; a conspectus.” For the second part of the Banned Book Project, you will write a synopsis of your book. This synopsis should be no more than one page, single-spaced in traditional font. __You should head it simply with the name of the book – do not use the MLA heading__.

The idea here is to illustrate to the reader you know the book well enough to tell them the important plot elements they need to understand your assessment. You will not want to give details. Paint in broad strokes.

The synopsis must be


 * 1) in your own words.
 * 2) no longer than one page.
 * 3) single-spaced in a regular 10 or 12 point font.
 * 4) evidence that you have read and understood your book.
 * 5) turned in March 12.
