Reading Response 3: Don't Be A Hit-And-Run Quoter

The author Susan Bordo makes a very important point in inserting or using a quotation into an essay and proving our point that we are trying to explain; and that point is basically how to properly use a quotation by properly introducing it, and explaining what it meant. In other words, "To adequately frame a quotation, you need to insert it into what we like to call a "quotation sandwich," with the statement introducing it serving as the top slice of bread and the explanation following it serving as the bottom slice" (Bordo 42). I believe this is very useful point, especially in my community analysis essay in order not to confuse my readers and disrupt the flow of the essay.
