Question

Olaudah Equiano was terrified when he first saw the slave ship. His fear of the future was so horrible, he passed out cold. He knew by looking at his captors that he was never going to get home again. Because they looked so different than he and the other enslaved people looked, he knew what his future held. Even the conditions aboard the ship were horrible. The smells were awful and made Olaudah Equiano feel sick. When he refused to eat, he was beaten. What about this summary makes it objective? Check the three best answers. The writer used first-person words like “I” and “me.” The language doesn’t include the writer’s reactions or judgments.

Answer 2

The three best answers are:

• The language doesn´t include the writer's reactions or judgements.
• The language includes only the emotions that Olaudah Equiano described.
• The writer avoided using loaded language.

When writing an objective summary it is necessary to focus on the principal theme or main idea of a text, as well as any particular, important detail that supports that idea. Every detail that is considered unnecessary has to be left out.

By objective it is meant that the writer avoids inserting his or her own point of view, reaction or perception about the text into the summary. This is why a summary that is considered objective should not be written in the first person "I" voice.
