Internal Citation—Direct Quotation
Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).
It is evident throughout the story that Ender has a propensity for violence. “Ender wanted to hit them, to throw them in the brook” (Card 71). “…Ender reached up with both hands, snatched the boy by the wrist, and then pulled down on the arm, hard” (Card 33).

Internal Citation-Paraphrasing
The biggest concept that people need to change about thinking of their occupations is that it is almost pointless to work so hard on improving what they are not good at. People should, instead, recognize their talents then focus on how those talents make them good at their jobs. If their talents do not lie within their occupations, then a career change is in order (Liesveld, Miller, and Robison 15-35).
