10. Remember these
points when selecting
and integrating
quotations in your
essay.

11. It is rarely effective to use an entire quoted
sentence. Long quotations tend to put your
reader to sleep. Your prose is far more
interesting and important. So use part of an
effective quotation as part of one of your
sentences.

12. Boring Example: According to Stoll, “Television
and computing make us more passive…and
passivity feeds into shyness” (395).
Better Example: Unfortunately, those who are
already shy may compound their problem
further as “[t]elevision and computing make us
more passive…and passivity feeds into
shyness” (Stoll 395).

13. After the sentence that contains the quotation,
you should have a space, parentheses, the
author’s last name, the page number,
parentheses, and a period.
Unfortunately, those who are already
shy may compound their problem
further as “[t]elevision and
computing make us more
passive…and passivity feeds into
shyness” (Stoll 395).

14. If you used the author’s name to introduce the
quotation, you should only put the page
number in the citation.
Stoll points out that those who are
already shy may compound their
problem further as “[t]elevision and
computing make us more
passive…and passivity feeds into
shyness” (395).

15. Boring Example: Stoll says, “Deep social ties are
relationships with frequent contact, deep feelings
of involvement, and broad content…[they] buffer
us from stress and lead to better social interaction”
(393).
Better Example: Stoll suggests we should look for
“deep social ties” because these bonds have
“frequent contact, deep feelings of involvement,
and broad content” that help to “buffer us from
stress and lead to better social interaction” (393).

16. To integrate a quotation properly within a
paragraph, a good writer usually has
(1) One sentence to introduce the quotation,
(2) a second sentence that includes the quotation,
and
(3) at least one sentence to comment on the
quotation.

17. Meat:
sentence
that
contains
the
quotation
Top piece of
bread: at least
one sentence
to introduce
the quotation
Bottom piece of bread: at least one
sentence to explain or comment
on the quotation (usually the
majority of the paragraph)

18. ORIGINAL: However, the cloning protocol does not
tamper with embryos; it tampers only with unfertilized
eggs and adult cells like those we scratch off our arms
without a second thought. Only after the fact does an
embryo emerge (which could be treated with the
utmost respect if one so chooses).
SMOOTHLY INTEGRATED QUOTATION:
Silver argues that reproductive cloning does not violate
human embryos.
He asserts that the “[cloning protocol] tampers only with
unfertilized eggs and adult cells like those we scratch off our
arms without a second thought” (343).
While Silver makes a good point, reproductive cloning is
still unnatural. The embryo is created in a laboratory by
scientists.

20. ORIGINAL: Although their genetically determined
inclinations may be the same, [the original person and the
clone] may choose to follow those inclinations in different
ways, or not at all.
SMOOTHLY INTEGRATED QUOTATION:
The environment in which people are raised affects them more
than their genetic code.
Though the original person and his clone may share “genetically
determined inclinations,” they have the choice “to follow those
inclinations in different ways, or not all” (Silver 343).
Michael Jordan was not born a great basketball player. Though
he may have some natural ability, he became great through hard
work, perseverance, and practice. Cloning Jordan would not
guarantee a great basketball star; on the contrary, the child
would have only the raw athletic talent and would lack the
circumstances and events that made Jordan who he is.

22. A “dropped quotation” has the same effect on
your paper that a blob of bird poop has on
your car windshield; it’s just splattered there
with no connection to anything else, and no
one knows what to do with it.
So, whenever you use a quotation, you must
integrate the material into your text.

23. Though many jobs require long hours on a
computer everyday, studies have shown that
staring at a monitor screen for extended
periods of time can cause depression. “After
following the study group, the psychologists
found an average increase in depression by
about one percent for every hour spent online
per week” (Stoll 393). The individual becomes
isolated from the outside world and though he
or she may be social in an online setting, there
is no true human contact.

27. Though many jobs require long hours on a
computer everyday, studies have shown that
staring at a monitor screen for extended
periods of time can cause depression. In a
UCLA study, psychologists determined “an
average increase in depression by about one
percent for every hour spent online per week”
(Stoll 393). The individual becomes isolated
from the outside world and though he or she
may be social in an online setting, there is no
true human contact.

28. People all over the world are making connections
with other people online, and though this seems
like a positive step in expanding our network of
friends, we can forget that these people in the
online world are strangers. “Online friends can’t
be depended on for help with tangible favors:
small loans, baby-sitting, help with shopping, or
advice about jobs and careers ” (Stoll 394). Though
many people find help in online support groups,
the members of the group should not be
considered true friends. They may be able to offer
advice or commiserate with an individual, but they
do not offer the human connection one finds with a
person face to face.

These so-called friends cannot “be depended on
for help with tangible favors” (Stoll 394). Though

the members of the group should not be
considered true friends. They may be able to offer
advice or commiserate with an individual, but they
do not offer the human connection one finds with a

33. Ellipses (three dots) indicate that some unnecessary
words have been left out of a quotation. When
using ellipses, remember:
 When you quote just a word or short phrase, no
ellipsis is necessary.
 You do not use an ellipsis to indicate that you have
left something out of the beginning of a sentence.
 Missing words from the end or somewhere in the
middle of a sentence need to be indicated with
ellipses.
 When you quote parts of more than one sentence,
you need four dots instead of three.

34. 

Use brackets to indicate any changes you make
to quotations while fitting them into your
sentence. See the example under “Maintaining
a Smooth Sentence Style.”
Remember, rather than changing more than
two items in a short quotation, find a better
way of integrating the quotation.

36. 
Find a short section in chapter 1 that is quotable
Said so well that you can’t paraphrase
 Slater (or another figure) makes a point (is not telling a
story or giving an example)
