Incorporating Quoted Material

4 Ways to Incorporate Quoted Material

The goal of incorporating quoted material is for you to seamlessly and easily integrate the quotes and specific evidence you pull from literature into your own writing. Don't just dump a quote in, take the time and effort to make it a part of your sentence that makes grammatical sense to the reader.

1) Simple signal phrase In the Buddhist tale, “once there was a village high in the mountains in which everyone was born blind” (16).

*According to ..., In the short story, O'Connor claims, are all examples of easy signal phrases.

2) Make a claim, then back up your claim with evidence from the text
Just as people often feel strongly about their interpretation of a work of literature, “two elders were about to come to blows about a fan that could not possibly be a pillar” (16).

3) Give an interesting quote and then explain it
“Four young mothers … comparing impressions, realized that the elephant was in fact” a combination of several different parts (16). Though individuals working alone could not put it all together, when different viewpoints came together, they had a more complete understanding.

4) Pull specific words and phrasesThe villagers had no experience with an elephant, but they did have working knowledge of things like “a leather fan,” “a cool, smooth staff,” “a dry, plowed field,” and an “overturned washing tub” (16).

These are just four examples of correctly incorporated quotes. As you get more used to dealing with your interpretation and using evidence from the text, you'll be able to use many more.
