  1. Method Two Integrating Quotations

  2. Why are quotations important? • Quotations are an integral part of analytic writing. In the point, proof, discussion method, quotations are the foundation of each proof

  3. Modern Language Association • In English, we integrate and cite quotations using MLA (Modern Language Association) Referencing • Many Arts disciplines in university will also use this Referencing Guide

  4. In general, • Quotations can never stand alone; you must introduce them • Always follow a quotation/paraphrased proof with the page number in parentheses/brackets (if you are using more than one author, indicate the authors’ last names as well)

  5. METHOD TWO:Introduce quotations with a full sentence • A quotation can never stand alone • One way to introduce a quotation is with a full sentence • A full sentence must include a subject and a predicate

  6. Technical Tips • The full sentence should always be followed with a COLON • The direct quotation should be in quotation marks • Following the quotation, you must include brackets with the page number—the period goes after the brackets

  7. Other Reminders • If the quotation ends with a question mark or exclamation mark, keep this punctuation, but also put a period after the brackets • Quotations that are introduced with a full sentence can vary in length

  8. Quotations of four typed lines or more have some different rules: • They are most effective when introduced with a full sentence introduction and colon • They do not require quotation marks (unless there is a combination of narration and dialogue) • The whole quotation should be indented one tab • The period goes BEFORE the brackets with page number

  9. Special Rules when Quoting Shakespeare • Instead of using a page number in your citation, note the act, scene and line(s) • To show a new line use a slash • If you quote dialogue between two or more characters in a play, set the quotation off from your text. Begin each part of the dialogue with the character’s name indented one inch from the left margin, and type the character’s letters in capitals.

  10. Examples: • The Captain shows his kindness when he agrees to assist Viola:“Be you his eunuch, and your mute I’ll be. / When my tongue blabs, then let mine eyes not see”(1.2.62-63). • It is apparent that Antonio is both nervous and excited about going to Duke Orsino’s court: “I have many enemies in Orsino’s court…But, come what may, I do adore [Sebastian] so, / That danger shall seem sport, and I will go” (2.1.41-44).

  11. NOTE: • Use … to indicate you have left out part of the text • Use [ ] to indicate you have changed a small part of the text

  12. Duke Orsino feels that Olivia is being unfair to him when he has made devoted vows of love to her for some time: DUKE: Still so cruel? OLIVIA: Still so constant, lord. DUKE: What, to perverseness? You uncivil lady, To whose ingrate and unauspicious altars My soul the faithfull’st offerings hath breathed out That e’er devotion tender’d! What shall I do? (5.1.107-111)
