Whenever you must assume something about a paper, the best thing to assume is that the reader has absolutely no idea what you are writing about.

Always have a title, if only it be "A Summary of How Urban Legends Work by Tom Harris"

In more extreme cases, including the prompt of a question is also deemed acceptable because it reduces the amount of previous knowledge the reader has to have.

Your essay is a separate, distinct piece of writing. It will be a summary, but the way you introduce it will establish a theme. Establish a theme in your intro, and make it a memorable concept that you want the reader to remember. Get a concept stuck in their mind to help them easily think about how YOU explained this story, and you will have a winning summary.

Everything you write should have its own theme. Even if it is a summary of something else, your piece of writing has its own "personality."

:-)

Oh, and in answer to your question, I think you should use a title and subtitle in order to express your theme.
