Diversifying the way we introduce and implement evidence/quotes in
our writing
1. Introduce with a clause2. Introduce with a full sentence of analysis
followed by a colon3. Imbed the quote into your own sentence of
analysis
Introduce with a clause
• Clause: subject and verb together• When you use this strategy, you need an
explanation sentence before or after
Arthur Miller writes, “where she walks the crowd parts like the sea for Israel” (56). The people of Salem have become so transfixed by Abigail that they follow her as if she were Moses.
Introducing evidence with a full sentence followed by a colon
Abigail has transformed into the town’s idol. The people of Salem have become so transfixed by Abigail that they follow her as if she were Moses: “where she walks the crowd parts like the sea for Israel” (56).
Imbedding the quote into your own sentence of analysis
Abigail has become Salem’s idol; people treat her like she is a saint. The people in town fear and respect her and “part like the sea for Israel” (56) around her because they are so transfixed by her. Miller uses the biblical allusion of Moses’ journey to stress Abigail’s power and influence over the people of Salem.
