2  A summary is a brief restatement or condensation of the plot and is much briefer than the original.  It is not a paraphrase as a paraphrase is at least as long as the original and it is also not an analysis.  It usually achieves its brevity by omitting almost all of the concrete details of the original and by omitting minor characters and episodes.  It is also as accurate as possible and may be a single paragraph.

3  A paraphrase is a restatement of material that may in its original form be somewhat obscure to a reader.  Although a paraphrase seeks to make clear the gist of the original, the meaning will be changed due to the substitution of one word for another.

4  Parody is a comic form that imitates the original in a humorous way. It is a caricature in words.

5  A review of a play or a novel is also a response since it normally includes an evaluation of the work.  It requires analytic skill but it is not identical with an analysis.  Some retelling of the plot is necessary, however, the review be primarily be concerned with describing, analysing, and evaluating.
