Brackets Parentheses and Quotation Marks

Italicizing words within brackets can help make them stand out or emphasize them within a sentence. It can also be used to indicate that the word or phrase is being defined or used in a specific way, providing clarity or additional context to the reader.

Blending quotes involves seamlessly incorporating a direct quotation within your own writing to support your ideas or argument. This technique helps to strengthen your points by using the words of experts, scholars, or other sources to validate your claims and provide credibility to your work. Remember to introduce, analyze, and properly cite the quote to ensure clarity and avoid plagiarism.

A colon is typically used to introduce a formal quotation in writing.

A quote is something a person or character said or wrote in his or her life.

Example:

"Always remember that the future comes one day at a time." (quote was by Dean Acheson).

"Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"I would like to do what Abraham Lincoln did… I would like to do it in Pakistan" -Iqbal Masih

"Books have showed me worlds I never would've imagined on my own." - Shelley Tanaka

Yes, if you are writing a paper about a poem, you should still put the author's name in quotation marks when referring to the poem. For example, "In 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost, the speaker contemplates choices in life."

Always use quotation marks for poems (other than epics) and for songs.

Yes, quotation marks can be used sarcastically to convey that the words inside should not be taken literally or should be interpreted with skepticism.

Names of authors - of songs, books, articles, stories and so on - should be written out in plain type. It is the titles of works that should be italicized (or, if italics are not available, underlined).

Yes, there can be quotes within quotes. You would put regular quote marks around the beginning and end of the entire quote. Then you would change the double quotes in the text to a single quote (the thing that looks like a backwards apostrophe).

You should not use quotation marks if the quote is more than three lines. Instead you should set off the quote with a colon. See Sources and related links for more information.

the meanings of quotes are to express how you feel while giving a little advice, for example the quote "leave today with no regrets" means that you should live your life to the fullest and at the end of the day look back and say i did this and i am happy i did.

I think the best response I have ever heard to this question was when I heard Brett Wilson speak. He stated that "True success and happiness can only be measured by the size of the smile on your face...not by the size of your bank account." Truer words could never have been spoken.

A quotation lead is a type of lead sentence or paragraph used at the beginning of a news article or feature story that presents a direct quote from someone relevant to the story. It is meant to capture the reader's attention and provide a glimpse of the speaker's perspective or emotion on the topic being discussed.

Use an ellipsis, in place of the missing part of the quote. An ellipsis is a series of three dots like this: . . .

Example: If the quote was "I'd like to take this time to encourage growth in the community and thank you all."

To only say "I'd like to take this time to thank you all."

You would write: "I'd like to take this time to ... thank you all."

That depends on the style and structure of the poem. Some poets do use full stops to indicate the end of a thought or idea, while others may use line breaks or other punctuation to create a particular rhythm or flow. Ultimately, it is up to the poet's preference and how they want to convey their message.

"Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind." --Theodor Seuss Geisel

This has definitely got to be my favorite quote. It tell us to be our own, unique selves. Don't act like someone you're not because the people who matter won't dislike you for being yourself.

It's so true, and applies easily in the world of high school, everyone is just trying to be the same and be accepted to the "in" crowd. For instance, if you went to my school, you'd see that more than half of the girls at our school look exactly the same. It's so pathetic. Everyone looks like a clone. Everyone wears Abercrombie/Hollister and only that. Everyone acts the same and pretends to be "cool." In fact, I've got to admit that I sometimes catch myself being one of the clones but I quickly snap out of the trance. I try to speak my mind and state my opinions. The friends that I make by being myself know who I truly am and accept me for just that.

I hate how everyone tries to be someone they're not in my school. Why can't people just be themselves? It'd make the world so much more interesting. I think we all have something to learn from Dr. Seuss's quote.

It means that moderation, taking the 'safe' route in doing something, is a drag and is dull and predictable. Instead of playing it safe, go with the larger light fixture, the flashier piece of jewelry, the more colorful ball gown if you really want to make a statement and not appear like you 'half-assed' it. Get it?

This quotation comes from William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." It is spoken by Lady Macbeth in Act 1, Scene 5. She is referring to the raven as a symbol of death and impending doom.

If a statement ends with a quotation, the period goes inside the quotation marks. Example:

It looks like you are, as they say, "up the creek without a paddle."

If a question ends with a quotation, and the quotation itself is not a question, the question mark goes outside:

where was Martin Luther King when he said, "I have a dream"?
