Dear Summarizers,

There’s a saying that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. I think this is true because some parts we emphasize more than others. Not all parts of a story are equally important. Your job as readers is to decide what’s really important and what’s not. A map can’t include all parts of the territory. We have to choose landmarks. Same when you read–a text or the world.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
