Integrating Quotations

Quotations

• Never have stand-alone quotations
• Quotes=helium analogy
• Anchor it down! 

How can you effectively integrate quotes into your sentences?

Option #1

• Introduce with a complete sentence and a colon.
• Thoreau ends with a metaphor: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in."
• (There were no pictures that would fit this slide, so you get a puppy)

Option #2

• Use an introductory phrase with a comma
• Thoreau asks, "Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?"

Option #3

• Make the quote part of your sentence without extra punctuation
• Thoreau argues that "shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths."  

Option #4

• Use short quotes as part of your sentence
• Although Thoreau "drinks at" the stream of Time, he can "detect how shallow it is."
