The idea
A good summary names the text's purpose, captures its main points, includes no opinion, and is short.
In practice
"The essay traces how one bakery became a neighborhood center, through its history, recipes and regulars."
Where people slip
A choice that adds a judgment, such as "a moving essay," is commentary, not summary.
