Why use quotations? 
      To demonstrate familiarity with a text. 
      To emphasize a point you wish to make. 
     Most Importantly: 
      To provide direct evidence supporting 
      your claim. 
      The Quotation Sandwich
      No matter what kind of quote you use, there is a single rule 
        you should always follow: all quotes must be put into a 
        sandwich. 
      What this means is that before you begin your quote, you 
        need to introduce it (the first part of the sandwich). 
        Introducing it lets the reader know what is coming and why 
        it is important to consider. 
      Then you get the quote itself. Quote and cite as normal. This 
        is the ‘meat’ of the quote. 
      Finally, you have to spend some time explaining your quote 
        and helping your reader understand what was useful about 
        it, finishing the sandwich. This means that you should 
        ALMOST NEVER end a paragraph with a quotation. 
            The Good, the Bad, and the 
            Ugly
         Quoting can be done in a number of ways, but in all cases it 
         can be done well or poorly.  Here’s some tips to help you do it 
         well. 
          Good quotes: 
               Are properly cited. 
               Are directly relevant to the material discussed. 
               Do not contain (much) extraneous/unnecessary material. 
               Follow the quote sandwich rules. 
          Bad Quotes: 
               Lack proper citation. 
               Are irrelevant to the current material or only a little relevant. 
               Contain a lot of material that isn’t discussed or mentioned. 
               Lack either an appropriate intro or analysis before & after them. 
     What kinds of Quotes Are There? 
      Block Quotes – Big sections of text. 
      ‘Full’ Quotes – A full line of text. 
      ‘Integrated’ Quotes – Partial lines inside 
      your own sentences. 
      Block Quote Rules
       When you choose to block quote, you suggest that 
        everything you quote is important. If you don’t end up using 
        most of what you quote, you are cheating the reader—only 
        do it if you intend to use nearly everything you quote. 
       Block quotes are set off from the rest of the text, single-
        spaced, and indented with a single tab throughout. Often 
        they are introduced with a colon. 
       They use a single citation in a style of your choice. Just 
        remember to be consistent. 
       If you use lineated text (poetry or some plays), you need to 
        maintain the lineation.
