“It is better to risk being overly explicit about what you take a quotation to mean than to leave the quotation dangling and your readers in doubt.”(Page 49, Paragraph 2) | This quote really pops out to me as a person who tends to worry about my analysis of a quote. I tend to over explain since I am never sure if I got my point across. Now I always thought that was a problem, but now I don’t think I have to worry so much anymore. It is better to right too much than it is to write too little. As long as I do get my point across, then I shouldn’t have to worry too much about the length of the analysis. I think it only becomes a problem when the analysis starts to dominate your work. Then at that point your own voice is less heard.
