27. Using Quotes Part of the Joy of Research Papers

28. Using Quotes/Paraphrases Your quote can’t make your point for you. YOU must make your point. Use a quote, tell the reader WHAT it shows and why.

29. Quoting Quotations must be identical to the original (unless you use … or []), using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. – Direct quotation. The young author states, “I had been granted unusual freedom and responsibility at an early age” (Krakauer, 148).

30. Paraphrasing Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. – Paraphrase. In Chapter 11 of Into the Wild, Walt, McCandless’s father, remembers an early hike with twelve-year-old Chris. They made it to 13,000 feet before turning back from the 14,256-foot summit in Colorado. Chris did not want to quit, and complained all the way down (Krakauer, 109).

31. Summarizing Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. Summary. In Into the Wild, Krakauer seems to be working out his own past and his relationship with his father as well as telling the sad story of Chris McCandless. Because Krakauer, too, is a man of the outdoors, he understands something about the call of the wild.
