Tips on Quoting
Some good reasons to include a quote are:- You want to support or add credibility to your arguments
- The original is difficult to rephrase
- The original is soooo good that you want to preserve the language
Always include a citation and use "quotation marks" to signal that you are using someone else's words when you quote.
Here's an example of a direct quote from Cody's paper, using Chicago Author-Date Style:
Original
If young Americans learn about these candidates via Jon Stewart, it is possible that unfavorable perceptions of both parties' nominees could form. This would have the effect of lowering trust in national leaders. Moreover, it may increase the importance of having high name recognition in the primary season, because lesser-known candidates would enjoy less support. Ultimately, negative perceptions of candidates could have participation implications by keeping more youth from the polls.
