Introduction
An abstract allows your audience to get a glimpse, if you will, into the larger work. It is not a review or an evaluation; however, an abstract may often contain a thesis, background information, and conclusion of the larger work. It is a brief, commanding statement. Most often, the abstract contains key words and phrases that allow your audience to understand quickly the scope of the work.
