A summary expresses the main points of something without personal opinion or critique. It is a very “just the facts, ma’am” type of document. For example, I might summarize my summer by saying, “I was very busy this summer. I traveled to Illinois and Texas, worked on several writing projects, and did some work around my house.” Notice that the summary doesn’t indicate whether I enjoyed my summer or what my favorite part of the summer was.

A response expresses personal opinion, such as agreement or disagreement, or critiques something. For example, I might respond to my summer by saying, “I was hoping my summer would be very relaxing, but an unexpected trip to Texas threw me off. After I got back from Texas, I was stressed out and didn’t get as much done around the house as I wanted to. I’m really disappointed that I didn’t finish painting the basement.” Notice that the response indicates several emotions: surprise (about the trip to Texas), feeling stressed out, and disappointment.

That's a pretty good way of showing it it helped me :)
thanks I keep getting confused on what the differences between summery and a response to literature are
I would like to say that without definitive practice each and every learner will fail to uncover a wide variety of sources on a suggested theme at university. Just the lucky ones who pay will get their free essay examples for school up there done in accordance to absolutely correct educational standards and theories.
Thanks, it's very helpful
whatever that sucked like crazy
