Chapter 3 incorporating quotes

When incorporating a quote in one's paper it is important to introduce the quote and after the quote provide and explanation of the quote and how it relates to your argument.Gerald Graff, a scholarly author of the 2011 book They Say, I Say, creates a more clear visual picture. Graff states, "To adequately frame a quotation, you need to insert it into a quotation sandwich..."(46). I wholeheartedly agree with Graff, a "quotation sandwich" is a must.  It helps the reader's clarity on the authors purpose of the quotes they choose to use.
