Is seven paragraphs too much for a book summary?

Question

I read the "Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan and i am going to high school.

Answer 1

No Way that book is pretty good so 7 is not to much

Answer 2

usually the standard 5 paragraph essay is best...make sure you dont go rambling on! are there any guidelines for this project? you msut have been given a rough idea...

you cna also try asking your teacher to make sure.

since you called it a book "summary" it sounds like it should be shorter, ENLESS you , wherever you live, use the phrase book summary instead of book report...summaries should normally be shorter than a book report (the reports should be atleast 5 paragraphs) enless of course to you, a book summary and book report are the same thing

yeah, jsut make sure you arent rambling on and the ideas you have are well SUPPORTED, using quotations, and that you thoroughly explain each idea.

id definetly go ask your teacher though. just to make sure, you know

Answer 3

I would cut it down to 5 paragraphs. Anymore then that and you will lose your readers attention. Start with an opening paragraph, then 3 body paragraphs about the story. Then an end paragraph where you wrap everything up.

Answer 4

it sounds pretty thorough.
