- 10/17 pt. II create a simple quote
-
1) John Scherber says, “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its
principal strength” (Scherber).You cannot have the author’s name in both places in one quote. That is why I said to use words like “writer,” “author,” “reviewer,” “observer.”
1) in the article Why Movies Will Never Replace Books, By John Scherber he says, “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its
principal strength”.You are missing the parenthetical reference and the capitalization in your tag is all off.
Please look at the document again about how to quote.
Also, published article titles need quotation marks.John Scherber says, “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its principal strength” (Scherber).
You cannot have the author’s name in both places in one quote. That is why I said to use words like “writer,” “author,” “reviewer,” “observer.”
John Scherber states “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its principal Strength.”
You need a comma after “states” to separate the tag from the quote and you MUST have a parenthetical reference.
Please try again.
The author states,”The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its principal strength” (Scherber).
Good work! Keep in mind that when your research shows several different writers, you should use “One author” rather than “The.”
The writer says, “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its principal strength” (Scherber).
Good work! Keep in mind that when your research shows several different writers, you should use “One writer” rather than “The.”
One writer states “The very basic limitation of books, the inability to show you everything in the story in all its detail, is also its principal strength” (Scherber).
Just add a comma after the tag and you are good!
