How is a paraphrase similar to a summary? they are both only one sentence in length. they are both used to foreshadow the future. they are both the same length as the original text. they both require other writers to restate the information in their own words

A paraphrase is similar to a summay since they both require other writers to restate the information in their own words.

Both a paraphrase and a summary are also similar in the fact that they do not distort the meaning of the original passage.

However, they have certain differences, for instance:

A summary is much shorter than the original passage, while a paraphrase is roughly the same length, and even sometimes a bit longer, than the original passage.

A summary can be selective, but a paraphrase is specific and should not be selective.  Since a paraphrase normally deals with a very specific portion of a text, the paraphrase should include all the elements of that portion.
