Integrating Quotations Into Your Own Writing A quick how-to guide!

When used effectively, quotations from another source are the STRONGEST evidence you can provide to support your own ideas.

So, when I have a quotation, can I just throw it into my writing? How’s this? “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” This shows that Scout’s view of Boo Radley has changed significantly since the beginning of the book.

Don’t leave a quotation standing alone as its own sentence; connect it to one of your own sentences. Your quotation needs to come with some other information…

A quotation needs… a)Context (Who said it? To whom? When/where?) b)Appropriate punctuation (instructions to follow) a)A reference (a page number and, at least for your first one, the author’s last name) Here are three ways to integrate your quotation into your own sentence while incorporating all of the above…

Method #1 – Connect quotation to a complete sentence Write a complete sentence and end it with a colon before presenting your quotation. e.g. Scout reveals to her father a mature understanding of the world as well as a change of heart concerning Boo Radley: “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” (Lee 276).

Method #2 – Connect quotation to an incomplete sentence Write an incomplete sentence and end it with a comma before presenting your quotation. e.g. Scout surprises her father by showing a mature understanding of the sheriff’s choice not to prosecute Boo Radley when she queries, “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” (276).

Method #3 – Use quotation within your own sentence Choose a meaningful excerpt from the quotation and build a sentence around that excerpt. If the quotation is preceded by the word that, no punctuation mark is necessary. e.g. When Scout suggests that prosecuting Boo Radley would “be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird” (276), she shows a mature understanding of the world.

What if I want to make slight changes to the wording of a quotation?

You can! To eliminate part of the quotation, replace the missing text with an ellipsis (…) *This is unnecessary if you are only borrowing a phrase that cannot be misconstrued as a complete sentence. To alter a word within a quotation, change it and surround it with square brackets [ ]

An Example: Jem reveals he is still too angry to discuss the trial with his sister when he says that “[he] never want[s] to hear about that courthouse again…” (247).

I understand now how to introduce my quotations. How do I finish them?

Referencing a quotation: because we need to know where it comes from! Each quotation must be followed by a page reference in parentheses e.g. (276) Omit a comma or period at the end of your quotation Put your own final punctuation mark after the parenthetical reference

Some Exceptions You must also include the author’s last name the first time you reference a text If you use several quotations from one page, only one citation is necessary following the last quote You may choose to preserve an emphatic punctuation mark within your quotation (a question mark or exclamation mark)

Another Exception: Shakespeare When referencing a Shakespearean play, cite only the act, scene, and line numbers e.g. (II, ii, 34-56) Indicate line breaks for passages written in verse e.g. Hamlet questions, “To endure the slings and arrows/Of misfortune or be driven to death instead” (III, i, 43-44).
