Embedded quotes
Incorporating quoted material into literary analysisSlide3
Why should I use quotes?
To support my argument.
To demonstrate my familiarity with the text.
To avoid getting kicked out of school for plagiarism!Slide4
Embedded vs dropped-in
An embedded quote flows naturally into your own writing. When reading a well-embedded quote, it should sound like part of your own sentence.
A dropped-in quote does not flow with the rest of the sentence. It sounds jarring and disrupts the sentence and paragraph.Slide5

punctuation
Capitalization
Leaving words out
Adding words in
Where to put the period.Slide8
capitalization
The quote is part of your sentence. Do not capitalize any word unless it would ordinarily be capitalized.
Example: Holden gets frustrated and decides to leave, claiming that “
people
are always ruining things” (Salinger 88).
Do not capitalize “people” even though in the original text it is the first word of the sentence.Slide9
Omitting words
When it is necessary to leave out a few words from the original text, use an ellipses (…) indicating where the words were skipped.
He claims that “people
are … ruining
things” (Salinger 88).Slide10
Changing words
Sometimes a word needs to be changed in order for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
Use brackets to enclose added words:
She
is just about to apologize when she realizes that this nun is not “Mama or Papa [who she] could argue things with” (Alvarez 15).
(The
original text is written in first person
.)Slide11
Using quotes in a paragraph
Lead your reader into the quote.
Use the quoted material.
Explain how the quote relates to the main point of your paragraph.Slide12
Where to put the period
The closing punctuation always goes at the
very
end of the sentence, i.e. after the parenthetical citation.
Beneatha is a character who believes that “people need to express themselves one way or another” (Hansberry 48).Slide13
Cite your sources!
Avoid plagiarism! At the end of the sentence, include a parenthetical citation.
In most cases, the author’s name and page number is required (Author 348).
In some cases, only a page number is needed (348).
In Shakespeare’s plays, you need
Act.scene.line
(IV.3.14-17).
Why
?Slide14
Works Cited page
The parenthetical citations co-ordinate with the works cited page included at the end of your paper.
