Hi, here goes my introduction. Summarizing consists basically in performing and algorithm or writin g a secuence of steps, that include every mayor paragraph or large senteces in text, where there is always an introduction, an elaboration or list of elements, and end with a conclusion by doing the following:
1)Take the text and use a red pencil, unless in PC text then use the enter bar, to separate and differentiate - divide text into logical and related pieces separate the text into different paragraphs. You can use the paragraphs already made in the text by the author.
2) Next write an introduction text explaining what you are going to do and the logic behing (my introduction is my first paragraph without numbers, opening the answer and ending with a double point :::::
3)Then make a list of the topic or argument by paragraph. Maybe there is already a title question or title sentence above it in Bold characters.
4)List all the titles or sentences you have identified and written in list
5) Format list element using numbers or bullets and apply format to list (With exception to introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
Much as I have done in anwering this question.
Finally, Make on long sentence where you use connecting words like First, next, then, also, in addition, plus, regardless, even though, despite, etc etc, ending with Finally consequently or in conclusion, concluding where you mention in order and as text all the titles in your list.After doiing all these you will have a summary.(this paragraph would be a conclusion)

Summarizing is taking a large idea or statment and just going over the highlights. If I read Les Miserables (a very long book), and then sat down and told you the story in half an hour, that would be a summary... because I couldn't possibly read the full text of the book to you in that period of time, but I could touch on the highlights and tell you what happens in general.
If you are writing a proposal, many times whoever requested it will ask for an Executive Summary, which just goes over the basics of the proposal, so that executives, who are at least percieved as having less time than other people, can get the gist of the proposal quickly, and then just read for details if they want to dig down on certain points. People even put summaries on resumes sometimes, because some people reviewing your qualifications don't want to have to read the whole page. So, you put a little "Summary of Qualifications" section right at the top, and pop the most impressive things there, and maybe you have a chance at getting noticed.
You can also learn to summarize online .

Just the first 9 chapters?
Og Mandino wrote 17 books, perhaps you would like us to analyze his work as a corpus for you?
