What if you are quoting an author’s character?
You may use the character’s name in the lead in, but you still must cite the author.
Sampson says, “They’re not hoodlums, they’re my boys” (Draper 61).
It is fine to mention characters, but do NOT cite characters.

What about nested quotes(or quotes within quotes?)
Use a nested quote when an author is quoting a character.
Use nesting quotations for quotes within quotes
• Ex. “ ‘Put that book down!’ she shouted” (Draper 31).

The Nested Quote can be anywhere within the main quote.
“When Sampson got home, however, he told his mother, ‘I got the honor roll again’” (Draper 61).

Where to begin…
• You do not have to begin quoting at the beginning of a sentence. You can simply use the parts you want. You can even create a sentence around a piece of a quotation.

SampleThe text says:Today I can look back and laugh, but on that
day, I truly thought the German Shepherds were going to eat us alive. Snarling and drooling with death in their eyes, they may have saved us from a potential life of crime.
Quotation: The dogs were “snarling and drooling with death
in their eyes” (Draper 35).

Blocked Quotes
If you have more than 4 lines of a quotation, you must “block” it by indenting 4 times and centering the quotation under the part of the essay you are working on.

Sample
Sampson speaks to the idea of making bad grades. He says,
When I was in school, a good grade could destroy a kid. High marks couldopen you up to ridicule, to name-calling, to being made an outsider. I never
understood the mentality that made failing equal to being cool (Draper 65).
