phrase. • Participial Phrase – a present or past participle and the other words
that complete the phrase. • Gerund phrase – present participle and the other words that
complete the phrase

Teetering on the tips of their toes and squealing at one another. The stately coconut palm in one corner of the patio. Thrashed its high branches.
Using QuotesPart of the Joy of Research Papers
Using Quotes/Paraphrases• Your quote can’t make your point for you. YOU must
make your point.
• Use a quote,tell the reader WHAT it shows and why.
Quoting
• Quotations must be identical to the original (unless you use … or []), using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.– Direct quotation. The young author states, “I had
been granted unusual freedom and responsibility at an early age” (Krakauer, 148).
Paraphrasing
• Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.
– Paraphrase. In Chapter 11 of Into the Wild, Walt, McCandless’s father, remembers an early hike with twelve-year-old Chris. They made it to 13,000 feet before turning back from the 14,256-foot summit in Colorado. Chris did not want to quit, and complained all the way down (Krakauer, 109).
Summarizing• Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including
only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
Summary. In Into the Wild, Krakauer seems to be working out his own past and his relationship with his father as well as telling the sad story of Chris McCandless. Because Krakauer, too, is a man of the outdoors, he understands something about the call of the wild.
