7. Quote Sandwiches
BEFORE the quote:
Where is the quote from?
Who is speaking in the quote?
What is the situation in the quote?
AFTER the quote:
Citation with page number.
Paraphrase what the quote said.
Explain how the quote supports
your POINT in this paragraph.
Example:
In The Madonnas of Echo Park, Aurora describes how she fell in
love with English pop culture—especially the singer Morrissey.
She says, “If second-generation Mexicans could canonize a living
saint in Los Angeles, it’d be Morrissey. Like most of the Mexican
girls and gay boys I knew, I went through a vicious, life-
consuming Morrissey phase in high school, one that for a period
of time made me hate the queen of England and Margaret
Thatcher more than I hated the Los Angeles Police Department”
(Skyhorse 155). Aurora is saying that her love of Morrissey was,
in some ways, very traditionally Mexican. However, at the same
time, it also made her care more about the politics of England
than her own city. This shows how pop culture can connect and
disconnect us from our communities at the same time. Through
pop culture, it is possible to identify with people different from
you, while still remaining yourself.
8. Now you try it
Sandwich the quote at right.
First, explain:
Where is it from?
Who is speaking in the quote?
What is the speaker talking about?
What is the situation/context?
Then after the quote:
Paraphrase what it is saying in your
own words.
Explain the POINT about
GENTRIFICATION that this quote is
making.
“I was thrilled at first when [the
white Westsiders] ushered those
dilapidated tiendas, lavanderías,
and taquerías out of the
neighborhood. [...] Now that these
gringo hipster stores are
everywhere, I’m not sure this is my
old neighborhood anymore.” (153)
