Transcription de la présentation

  1. Embedding Quotations

  2. Don’t … Strand Quotations! • S.Q.’s are quotations with NO home….NEVER begin a paragraph with a quotation that has no speaker or interpreted meaning from YOU [as the writer] • Stranded quotations are the proverbial “fishes out of water.” Also called “Island Quotations.”

  3. Paraphrase or Summarize • If the sentence is not quotation-worthy, then use a paraphrase or summary type sentence, e.g., George said that he would never talk to his sister again. • (It is not necessary for the audience to know George’s exact words, only that he will not be talking to his sister…thus, George’s words are not “quotation-worthy.)

  4. He/ She said • Simple sentence tag (Use of author/character name is preferred: Hawthorne implies…) • He said, “There is a full moon tonight.” • Comma before quote • Capitalize first word • Period before end quote • Use more precise terms for says: believes, maintains, suggests, implies • (This is typical “dialogue” style and does NOT offer the “so what” analysis.)

  5. Embedded sentence,Type I • George said that “no one could compare with the great LeBron James.” • No comma before quote • No cap for first word of quote • No quotes if you change the line completely: He said that he wanted to go first. • (However, notice that this type of sentence does NOT offer the “so what” feature.)

  6. Embedded Sentence, Type II • The fact that “Elizabeth wanted a gown more beautiful than anyone else’s” shows how vain she is. • The line “Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair” captures the arrogance of the ruler. • * Now THESE embedded sentences offer the “so what” feature. Identify the “so what” in each.

  7. Divided • “You are,” she said reluctantly, “the best pitcher we have seen yet.” • Comma before end quote • Comma before second half of quote • No cap for second half

  8. Speaker Details • John Smith, the author of Chocolate Rules, believes, “Nothing can take the place of the simple M&M candy.” • Appositive • Comma on either side of appositive

  9. Intro summary (Colon) • Frost repeats the last line to convey a sense of weariness: “And I have miles to go before I sleep. / And I have miles to go before I sleep.” • Full sentence before the colon that summarizes idea of quote • Full sentence for quote • / means a line break for a poem

  10. List of words • “Vile,” “gritty,” “torn,” and “shabby” all suggest the deterioration of the world Winston lives in. • Quotes for each word • Commas before the end quotes

  11. Embedded Phrases • Winston needed to show a face of “quiet optimism” to conceal his desire for revolution. • No commas • No capitalization
