America Like Me by America Ferrera

I need a 250 word summary over chapter 27 Laurie Hernandez. Below are the instructions for the summary. I need this done in a couple of hours at least. it is due by midnight! The purpose of the American Like Me journal is to foster students’ ability to make connections among various texts to build a solid connection between reading and writing with the emphasis of understanding texts and to practice using the MLA citation method for documenting basic fundamental research tasks. The American Like Me weekly journal is actually a broader term we are using to describe many small writing assignments. Throughout the semester you will be required to submit journals by the assigned due dates. Each entry has three components: (1) MLA citation (2) a summary of the chapter and (3) your reflection on the chapter. Each entry should be a minimum of 500 words (more is fine less is not). Let’s break this down. You should begin each journal entry with an MLA citation for the chapter to which you are reading and responding as though you were writing a Works Cited entry. Each chapter is considered a work within an anthology so you use should the appropriate MLA citation (see Little Seagull Handbook page 144 no. 19). For each chapter you read you will need to include a summary. Your goal should be approximately 250 words in length (about half of the total word count). As with any summary your goal is to highlight the major plot points and arc of the chapter not to repeat all of the story’s minor points. It can be difficult to write a good summary when we do not see the difference between major plot points and minor details. To aid you in discerning the difference you want to give yourself time to digest the chapter sufficiently: you may need to read it more than once. You can ask yourself: if I do (or do not) include this point would the reader of my summary be able to understand the overall message of the chapter? This will help you start to hone in on the major points to cover.
