In the third chapter of They Say, I Say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein shows \u201cThe Art of Quoting\u201d. The authors not only introduce how important it is to use quotes in your writing, but also explains how to use quotes properly. The risk of using quotes is that we have to truly understand what it talks about. Some writers, especially high school and college writers, \u00a0would misunderstand what the quotes they quoted actually mean and they may go off track through their entire writings. The authors bring up the fact called \u201chit-and-run\u201d quotations which means writers use certain quotes without analyzing them. Therefore, to write an efficient essay, we should keep in mind that we have to mix our thoughts with the actual context in order to deliver a better demonstration of the message. In the context, the author gives some common templates on how to introduce a quote. In my high school writings, I always use keywords to search quotes instead of fully understanding what the deeper message is. On the other hand, we should prevent over analyzing a \u00a0quote as well. Sometimes we spend too much words on explaining our thoughts and it usually results either cliche or twisty messages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One example of over analyzing would be the whole presidential voting period. Social media during that period of times tend to over analyzing the actions of all the candidates as well as what people say about the presidential campaign. Even though it has to deal with presidential promotion and canvassing, it is still a practice of over understanding which results in the general bias before the final came out.<\/p>\n
