Question 12.50

1. Read “The Lady in Red” and summarize the selection below. Be sure to put the summary in your own words and to avoid using the sentence structure of the reading selection. Remember that your summary should restate the author’s main idea (or thesis) and that it should include only the author’s most important supporting ideas. When you have completed your summary, “submit” your work.

Here is an example summary of this reading selection:

Richard LeMieux tells of his first experience begging on Thanksgiving Day. Down on his luck and living in his car with his dog, he goes first to the supermarket he used to shop at but is snubbed by the shoppers and asked to move along. Demoralized, he drives across the street to another supermarket, where after being humiliated by a shopper, an elderly woman who appears ill gives him all the money in her purse, over sixty dollars. She is the angel LeMieux had been asking God to send him, and he offers up a prayer of thanks for her generosity.

Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
