Integrating QuotationsSlide2
Technique 1a
Use a
signal phrase like
he says
, or
she
says
followed by a comma to integrate a quotation and agree with
an opinion from the following
sentence written by Dave Larsen:
Purists
will be in an uproar over the gunplay - such as Juliet putting a Walther P5 pistol to her head - but the film's intended Gen-X audience will find a timeless love story daringly adapted to their era.Slide3
Technique 1a
While
Romeo + Juliet
may not appeal to older audiences, it was never supposed to; as Larsen says, “
the film's intended Gen-X audience will find a timeless love story daringly adapted to their
era”(1).Slide4
Technique 1b
A
gree with an opinion from the following paragraph, integrating your quotation with a colon.
The
story itself is William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a 400-year-old romantic tragedy audaciously reinterpreted by Australian director
Baz
Luhrmann
, who made a lively debut with 1992's Strictly Ballroom. His unorthodox follow-up is strictly over-the-top.Slide5
Technique 1b
The movie is an exciting mix of shoot outs and car chases, with wild costumes and swooping aerial shots. Larsen sums it up perfectly: “strictly over the top”(1).Slide6
Technique 1c
Rewrite these sentences, integrating the quotation as an extension of your own words:
The movie is an exciting mix of shoot outs and car chases, with wild costumes and swooping aerial shots. Larsen sums it up perfectly: “strictly over the top”(1).Slide7
Technique 1c
The movie is an exciting mix of shoot outs and car chases, with wild costumes and swooping aerial shots. As Shakespeare performances go, it is “strictly over the top”(Larsen 1).Slide8
Technique 2a
Disagree with an opinion from the following sentence using a comma to integrate an initial quotation.
DiCaprio
and Danes have different energies - hyper intensity vs. calm serenity - yet they share a spellbinding chemistry that captures the volcanic rush of first love.Slide9
“[T]hey share a spellbinding Slide10
Technique 2a
“
DiCaprio
and Danes . . . share a spellbinding chemistry that captures the volcanic rush of first love”(1), says Larsen, but to my mind they share nothing more than pretty cheekbones and an obsession with water.Slide11
Technique 2b
Use a colon to integrate a quotation disagreeing with an opinion from the following sentence:
As with most film adaptations,
Luhrmann
trims Shakespeare's text, putting a visual emphasis on the dramatic elements. Slide12
Technique 2b
“As
with most film adaptations,
Luhrmann
trims Shakespeare's
text” Larsen observes: “butchers” might be a better way to describe the approach of the Australian director.Slide13
Technique 2c
Integrate an initial quotation from the following sentence using your own words.
As with most film adaptations,
Luhrmann
trims Shakespeare's text, putting a visual emphasis on the dramatic elements. Slide14
Technique 2c
“
Luhrmann
trims Shakespeare's text, putting a visual emphasis on the dramatic elements” such as setting (Larsen 1); when Balthazar falsely reports Juliet’s death to Romeo, for example, roughly half the lines are cut, but
the
visual symbolism of the red-lit sky is striking.
