Summary Example [nonfiction] To be a member of the aristocracy, the predominant theory is that one needs to be wealthy. Being in such a privileged group means that one usually has benefits that others aspire to have. However, often people in the aristocracy are domineering, making it hard for them to make and keep friends.
Summary Example [fiction] Sam Smith was in court for the third time in less than a year; this time he was accused of perjury. The prosecution alleged that Sam conjured up a story about his privileged neighbors. Sam tried to legitimize his story by bringing in a witness, but it did not impress the judge.
