Important Quote

:
Desmond
Morris, author of
Manwatching, claims that people who “come from the Mediterranean region…find that [they] are much closer to [their] companion[s]…at little more than ‘elbow distance’” (Morris 131). This cultural difference explains why many Americans are often uncomfortable with personal space when visiting the region.Slide8
Example from Gehrig’s Speech
In his speech to his fans, Yankee great Lou Gehrig praises his fans, saying, “I
have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you
fans” (Gehrig). Here, he appeals to pathos because he speaks directly to his audience and demonstrates his gratitude to them. This created a sense of connection between Gehrig and his adoring fans.Slide9
Always remember:
Use reputable sources.
Always attribute, cite, explain.
When in doubt, play it safe: Cite!
Plagiarism can be (and is often) unintentional. Don’t forget to cite an author for his/her work.
Finally, never try to present someone else’s ideas as your own.
