15. Blending Quotes • Blending (or integrating) quotations means “to weave the author’s words into your own sentences.” Quotations should not just be thrown into your essay.

16. The Basics • Always integrate quotations into your text. • DO NOT put quotes alone in a sentence. In other words, don’t let a piece of textual evidence stand alone as its own sentence (unless it’s multiple sentences long). Instead, introduce them seamlessly in a way that they are part of your own sentence. • Use your own words to introduce a quotation.

17. Integrating a Quotation into Your Own Sentence • Most effective way to utilize quotations because it creates a seamless transition. • Result must be grammatically correct and syntactically fluent. • Mukherjee explains a sense of belonging, “to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that I can.” • Mukherjee explains that to feel a sense of belonging, a person needs “to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that [she] can.”

18. BAD: In “Everyday Use,” a daughter comes home from college with conflicting ideas on her cultural identity and ancestry. Momma refers to her as “Dee” who was named after her Aunt Dicie, although Dee would prefer to be called Wangero. “’She’s dead,’ Wangero said. ‘I couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me’” (Walker 131). GOOD: In “Everyday Use,” a daughter comes home from college with conflicting ideas on her cultural identity and ancestry. Momma refers to her as “Dee” who was named after her Aunt Dicie whereas, Dee would prefer to be called Wangerobecause she “couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress [her]” (Walker 131).

19. Examples of Blending Quotations BAD: Maggie was crippled from a house fire. “Have you ever seen a lame animal, perhaps a dog run over by some careless person rich enough to own a car, sidle up to someone who is ignorant enough to be kind to him? That is the way my Maggie walks. She has been like this, chin on chest, eyes on ground, feet in shuffle, ever since the fire that burned the other house to the ground.” Good: In “Everyday Use,” because of a house fire that left Maggie crippled, Momma compares her to a “lame animal” or a “dog run over by some careless person rich enough to own a car” (Walker 128).

20. Integrating a Quotation into Your Own Sentence • Use brackets to indicate change in verb tense, pronouns, etc. • Mukherjee explains that to feel a sense of belonging, she needs “to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that I can.” • Mukherjee explains that to feel a sense of belonging, she needs “to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that [she] can.”

21. BAD: In his article, Pico Iyerdiscusses racial profiling. “’If there is some unfortunate incident,’ he explains, ‘some terrorist attack’ (he’s sotto voce now), ‘then we will know you did it’” (Iyer). This shows an example of his personal experience with racial profiling. GOOD: In his article, Pico Iyer discusses his personal experience with racial profiling, recounting being detained by a Japanese plainclothes police officer who threatened him, “’If there is some…terrorist attack… then we will know you did it’” (Iyer).

22. BAD: Mukherjee explains her desire for a place to belong. This can be seen in the quotation, “I need to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that I can.” • GOOD: Mukherjee explains her desire for a place to belong. She demonstrates this by saying, “I need to put roots down, to vote and make the difference that I can.”

23. Instead of always using writes or says, try to use stronger verbs, such as Adds claims illustrates reasons Admits comments implies says Agrees compares insists states Agues demonstrates notes suggest Asserts denies observes thinks Believes emphasizes points out writes

24. “Going to Japan” • Turn to page 122. • As we read Barbara Kingsolver’s “Going to Japan,” collect evidence in your Q notes related to the main idea: Barbara Kingsolver learns through her many cultural gaffs as a traveler in Japan that forgiving others’ imperfections is more satisfying than achieving perfection. • For each citation, offer an explanation of its connection to the main idea.

25. Integrated Quote Example • Citation: “’I quickly memorized an urgent one, ‘Sumimasen,’ and another one for especially extreme cases, ‘Moshi wake gozaimasen’” (Kingsolver 123). • Explanation: Kingsolver is so embarrassed and horrified by all of the cultural gaffs she is making that the only Japanese phrases she really learns are apologies. • Integrated Quote: Kingsolver is so embarrassed and horrified by all of the cultural gaffs she is making, that she “quickly memorized” the Japanese apology, ‘”Sumimasen,’ and another one for especially extreme cases, ‘Moshi wake gozaimasen’” (Kingsolver 123).

26. Formative Assessment • Take your strongest citation, and blend it with an explanation in your own words.
