  1. Integrating literary quotations(how to make a quote sandwich)

  2. Quote Sandwich Review • Context • Quote • Analysis

  3. Context (introducing the quote) • The context should include the speaker of the quote (if there is one) and some information to orient the reader about the quote. • For example: When Telemakhos goes to Pylos to learn news of his father, Nestor speaks highly of Odysseus. He tells Telemakhos, “And as to stratagems, no man would claim / Odysseus’ gift for those. He had no rivals, / your father, at the tricks of war” (Homer 3.129-131).

  4. Analysis (explaining the quote) • The analysis should explain the significance of the quote and how it relates to your thesis (how it proves your point). • “And as to stratagems, no man would claim / Odysseus’ gift for those. He had no rivals, / your father, at the tricks of war” (Homer 3.129-131). From this, Telemakhos learns of his father’s cleverness in war. In accordance with the Greek concept of kleos, Telemakhos is also learning about the reputation of his father that he will need to live up to and enhance.

  5. Example Quotation Sandwich for “From Behind the Veil” • Siham uses the veil, a symbol of modesty and propriety, to conduct an illicit relationship with Ihsan. When she watches Ihsan in the street, she realizes “there [is] nothing to stop her from feasting her eyes on him, however, because she [knows] that the veil [covers] her face and [conceals] the overwhelming attraction she [feels] for him” (Ayyoub 425). The veil enables Siham to maintain the appearance of being a virtuous girl, as defined by her society, while actually behaving in such a way that would be regarded as scandalous if it were visible. Siham is aware of how to manipulate society’s constraints in a way that actually liberates her. She uses the confines of the veil to freely and openly conduct her affair with Ihsan, while maintaining the appearance of valuing and respecting her traditions. Through Siham’s use of the veil, the author is highlighting how a society that puts too much emphasis on appearing virtuous may be easily deceived.
