Why do writers use Direct Quotes?
1. To develop additional ideas to support the thesis
2. Writers use specific evidence, such as paraphrased and/or direct quotations

What is a Direct Quotation?The use of the exact words of an author
or speaker.Note: A direct quotation is placed inside
“quotation marks”.

How do we Cite a Direct Quotation?
“Direct Quotation” (Author’s Last Name Page #).
Example:Jonas was feeling embarrassed, "He
hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself smaller in the seat. He wanted to disappear, to fade away, not to exist” (Lowry 58).

When using direct quotes…1. Avoid plagiarism by paraphrasing or using
direct quotes
2. To smoothly embed a direct quotation, use TLQC format (transition, lead-in, quotation, citation).
For example: The reader is stunned by Harrison’s dramatic
death scene, yet Harrison’s parents hardly react. When George realizes Hazel has been crying, he simply says, “‘Forget sad things’” (Vonnegut 6).

Ellipses An ellipsis (. . .) indicates something omitted from a
quoted passage.
Two things to consider: 1. Using an ellipsis is a form of “editing,” so be certain
to not change the original meaning of the quoted passage.
2. If quoted text has more ellipses than words, paraphrase.

BracketsBrackets ([ ]) are used to clarify the
meaning of quoted material. If a quote is unclear, add a few words to clarify. Enclose the added material in brackets.
For example: “They [the other team] played a better game.”

Ellipses & BracketsUse ellipses and brackets to include
more without writing out long pieces of quoted material.
Quote: “Harrison tore the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper, tore straps guaranteed to support five thousand pounds. Harrison’s scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor.” The reader celebrates the moment when “Harrison tore
the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper… [and] scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor,” allowing him full freedom at last (Vonnegut 104).
