Quote Sandwiches
Three easy steps to make your essays MUCH better:
Introduce the quote (this is new!)
Include the quote (just write the section you want!)
Comment on the quote (1-2 sentences. We’ve practiced this!)Slide4
Step 1: INTRODUCING QUOTES
Some common ways to do so:
In
Kite Runner,
when [event] happens, [character] says, “…”
When [event] occurs, [Character] feels that, “…”
Use the author’s words to complete your own sentence: (Good for descriptions):
When Amir arrives back in Kabul, he sees his favorite restaurant still standing, but “its doors were padlocked, the windows shattered, and the letters K and R missing from its name.”Slide5
Step 3: COMMENT STARTERS
This quote shows that….
From [character’s] words, the reader discovers….
This scene is important because…Slide6
Why is this not a sandwiched quote?
When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. He sees many terrible, shocking sights that make his beloved city almost unrecognizable. “I saw a dead body near the restaurant.” Slide7
Why is this a poor example of a sandwich paragraph?
When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. “I saw a dead body near the restaurant.” Amir becomes even more upset when he sees that his own old home, in the Wazier Akbar Khan district, is still in fair condition, but only because the Taliban now lives there.Slide8
Why is this a better example?
When Amir returns to Afghanistan, it is in shambles. He sees many terrible, shocking sights that make his beloved city almost unrecognizable. For example, within his first few minutes in the city, he says that ,“I saw a dead body near the restaurant.” This dead body on the streets shows how far Kabul has fallen since Amir left. The restaurant used to be a place where people could gather to enjoy each others’ company, but now it is just another place of death in Kabul.
