Quote #1 Before & After

Quote #2 Before & After

Using the templates for forming a strong quote in They Say I Say, I learned that there are many ways to introduce a quote. I used the book to revise both my quotes so that they support my argument in a stronger way. The first quote I started off with saying “Southan states..”, and after I changed my quote it said ” In his article, “Is Art A Waste Of Time, Southan maintains that..”. By modifying the introduction to that quote, I was able to introduce the quote in a stronger way as recommended in They Say I Say. The second quote, I found at first hard to introduce. This was because it was a question but after I looked over the section on how to introduce a quote, I was able to fit an introduction into the question that Kaphar has. My first draft I introduced the quote as, “The question Kaphar has..”, and after I revised it I had a stronger introduction to the quote, “Kaphar overlooks what I consider an important question..”. This is a much stronger introduction as it incorporates my opinion as well, which is important and critical to this essay!
