The document discusses the difference between a summary and a literary analysis. A summary generically describes the basic plot of a story, while a literary analysis investigates the deeper meanings within a specific work. The document provides an example summary and analysis of the story "The Little Mermaid" to illustrate the difference, with the summary focusing on plot events and the analysis drawing connections to other works and exploring themes.

? For my final assignment, I¡¯m going to explain the main and most important thing I learned this semester of English.
Summary vs. Analysis What is a summary? ? A summary is a generic description of a story or movie that is already thought out in your mind. What is a literary analysis? ? An investigation of the deeper meaning in a specific piece of writing or story.
Summary If asked to create a summary of the Little Mermaid, I¡¯d say.. ? A mermaid named Ariel, who¡¯s father is king of the sea, is too adventurous for her own good. She disobeys her father and swims to the surface of the ocean and spots a handsome man named Eric. She wants to be with him and the only way possible is to become human herself. Ariel meets the witch of the sea that tricks her into taking a dangerous potion that steals her voice. Eric falls in love with her and saves her from the witch and they lived happily ever after.
Analysis If I was asked to create a literary analysis of the Little Mermaid, I¡¯d say.. ? Ariel and Eric are familiarized with Romeo and Juliet. Numerous things are keeping them apart, including Ariel¡¯s father. Juliet¡¯s father wanted her nowhere near Romeo. The two sets of lovers find a way to be together.. Etc.
