“Readers get a sense of pleasure from the safe flow of hearing how to read an upcoming quotation, reading it, and then being told one way to interpret it. Prepare, quote, analyze.”

thoughts-

A quote that is well explained and well put together will be greatly appreciated by the reader.

quote-

“Heres an actual example from Alexandra. Notice the way she builds up to the quotation and then explains it”

thoughts-

the author says how Alexandra explains and builds up to her quotation to help strengthen the quote and make it easier to interpret.

quote- 

”readers appreciate being guided to and led away from a quotation by the writer doing the quoting”

thoughts-

The author is saying that the reader would appreciate the writer to explain and cite correctly so its easier to understand.

quote- 

“readers get the feeling that they’re moving from one quo-tation to the next without ever quite getting to hear the real point of what the author wants to say, never getting any time to form an opinion about the claims”

thoughts-

I think he means like people put quotes and don’t analyze it or explain it. The reader cant interpret what the correlation of the quote is if you don’t explain it well enough

from reading this I learned how a strong quote is very very crucial. Also how there’s a correct way to cite evidence. He talks about how you should build up to the quote and explain it throughly.  Also he told us when you cite a quote but don’t do it correctly you leave room for the reader to get confused and get thrown off from your argument or topic. Lastly he taught me how the reader would greatly appreciate well put together evidence, which would leave no room for confusion on the reader.
