Quotation 5

2. Separated (2) Student Sample 2: When Jimmy was a child, he knew that he had the talent of

painting. Yet, it was until Jimmy was junior grade in his senior high school he knew that he could go to the art school. “In my first grade in junior high school, I was the champion in painting competition; in my second grade, I was the second; in my third grade, I was the third,” says Jimmy with smiling. However, because people think that it’s useless to paint, and he also thinks that it’s not a big deal for knowing how to paint, Jimmy never thought that he would be an artist in the future. “Thus, it was until my junior year in senior high that I knew I could go to the art department,” continues Jimmy.

(used well in cases of interview and speeches; tense, transitions, topic sentence)

Quotation 6

2. Separated -- Improvement Student Sample 2: (tense, transitions,

topic sentence) Jimmy started his artist career very late in his life. He

knew that he had the talent for painting since childhood. “In my first grade in junior high school I was the champion in a painting contest; in my second grade, I was the second; in my third grade, I was the third,” recalled Jimmy with both a sense of fun and pride. However, Jimmy never thought then that he would be an artist in the future, since nobody, including himself, saw painting as useful. In his last year in high school, surprisingly, he decided he would go to an art department.

2. Separated Quotation (3) Student Sample 3: Yet, because Jimmy didn’t have confident about his

2. Separated Quotation (3) --improvement

Student Sample 3: However, without confidence and with all the

knowledge that arts mean hunger, Jimmy chose the Graphic Design section of his department. “Unlike some of my classmates,” acknowledged Jimmy, “I didn’t have a lot of passion towards painting.” After graduation, Jimmy entered into advertisement and settled down as a graphic designer. After several years, Jimmy began to have the desire for painting, which got to be so strong that he painted while he was “eating or working.” Then, one of his co-workers brought his paintings to Crown Publisher. Jimmy started to do illustration for some newspapers and some famous writers. However, because the salary wasn’t high, he quit

Perhaps it is the unavoidable fate for Lennie that he killed Curley’s wife when he tried to keep her quiet. (gap) For Lennie, there is no difference between the puppy and Curley’s wife, a human being:

Lennie went back and looked at the dead girl. The puppy lay close to her. Lennie picked it up. “I’ll throw him away,” he said. “It’s bad enough like it is.”(100)

Therefore, “the novel communicated most intensely of unconventional morality.”(Levant 138) For readers, Lennie is guiltless though he killed Curley’s wife.(The quote remains unexplained.) (see correction)

Quotation 10

3. separated and indented: Correction

Perhaps it is inevitable for Lennie to kill Curley’s wife when he tried to keep her quiet. For Lennie, there is no difference between a puppy and Curley’s wife, a human being. After he killed both of them, he picked up the puppy because “It’s bad enough like it is.”(100). In showing Lennie to be still sympathetic, the novel communicates most intensely a kind of “unconventional morality”(Levant 138), and exempt Lennie from

any sense of guilt.

Quotation 11

3. Separated and Indented As for the novels, Atwood's debut The Edible Woman locates her vital position in Canadian literature. [transition] For Atwood, "literature is a means to cultural and personal self-awareness. … In her opinion, Canada's central reality is the act of survival: Canadian life and culture are decisively shaped by the demands of a harsh environment. Closely related, in Atwood's view, to this defining act of survival is the Canadian search for territorial identity"([who said it?] 21). Thus in Atwood's novels, the characters, especially the female protagonists, are the representation of seeking for survival and quest for self-identity.

(The quote 1) should be more than four lines and thus put in a separate paragraph with indentation; 2) is too long.)

Quotation 12

4. Separated and Indented –Correction

As for the novels, Atwood's debut The Edible Woman locates her vital position in Canadian literature. [transition] For Atwood,

[. . .] Literature is a means to cultural and personal self-awareness. […] Canada's central reality is the act of survival: Canadian life and culture are decisively shaped by the demands of a harsh environment. Closely related, in Atwood's view, to this defining act of survival is the Canadian search for territorial identity. ([who said it?] 21)

Thus in Atwood's novels, the characters, especially the female protagonists, are the representation of seeking for survival and quest for self-identity. (The quote still is too long, and the paragraph not coherent.)

Quotation 13

3. Separated -Correction (getting a topic sentence; reducing irrelevant parts) In Atwood's novels, the characters, especially the female protagonists, seek for survival and self-identity. For Atwood, "Canada's central reality is the act of survival: Canadian life and culture are decisively shaped by the demands of a harsh environment. Closely related, in Atwood's view, to this defining act of survival is the Canadian search for territorial identity"(Name 21). For instance, Atwood's debut, The Edible Woman, deal with a woman’s attempt to survive in a city where humans are ‘eating’ up one another. (More on this novel, or the other novels by Atwood. )

Quotation 14

4. Integrated Quotations Separated: As ~ points out, “For Mrs. Warren to be a prostitute

and want her daughter to be respectable would be hypocritical only if her original motive for entering the ‘profession’ had been an innate love for it, rather than a realization that solid material foundations are the precondition for any hope of a better life” 74 .﹙ ﹚

Integrated: (syntax smoothed) Mrs. Warren is not hypocritical in wanting her

daughter to be ‘respectable,’ since her motivation for going into the business of prostitution is not, as ~ put it, “an innate love for it” but “a realization that solid material foundations are the precondition for any hope of a better life” 74 .﹙ ﹚

Quotation 16

4. integrated…it points out in Critical that “it was inevitable that Humanist interest in the Latin and Greek classics should also produce a new kind of English tragedy”(221).Corrections: Critical Reader points out that “it was inevitable that Humanist interest in the Latin and Greek classics should also produce a new kind of English tragedy”(221). Emphasis placed on a certain idea: Critical Reader points out that with contemporary humanist interest in the Latin and Greek classics, producing a new kind of English tragedy was “inevitable”(221).

5. Separated vs. Integrated Quotation (1)

Student sample 1: She says, “I took all my notebooks, all

my manuscripts and ate them page by page, so I could take my words with me.” It’s like she stresses on receive ideas and mental elements, and rejects materials like dresses and jeans.

Quotation 18

5. Separated vs. Integrated Quotation --Correction

Separated : She says, “I took all my notebooks, all my manuscripts and ate them page by page, so I could take my words with me,” which means that she stresses preserving her own ideas and mental elements, while rejecting external materials like dresses and jeans.

Integrated: While rejecting material things such as dresses and jeans, she guards her own words to such a degree that she eats her notebook “page by page, so [she] could take [her] words with [her].”

Quotation 19

5. separated and indented vs. Integrated example 2 -1

After the princess was born, she then started to explore into her self-identity: The king was so happy about the birth of the princess that he held a great celebration. He also invited the fairies who lived in his kingdom, but because he had only twelve golden plates, one had to be left out, for there were thirteen of them. The fairies came to the celebration, and as it was ending they presented the child with gifts. The one promised her virtue, the second one gave beauty, and so on, each one offering something desirable and magnificent. The eleventh fairy had just presented her gift when the thirteenth fairy walked in. She was very angry that she had not been invited and cried out, (cont’d)

Quotation 20

5. separated and indented vs. Integrated example 2 -2

"Because you did not invite me, I tell you that in her fifteenth year, your daughter will prick herself with a spindle and fall over dead." The parents were horrified, but the twelfth fairy, who had not yet offered her wish, said, "It shall not be her death. She will only fall into a hundred-year sleep." The king, hoping to rescue his dear child, issued an order that all spindles in the entire kingdom should be destroyed.

In this section the role that plays an important part in the princess’ self-identity appears in a form of the twelve kind-hearted fairies and the thirteenth bad fairy. These senior, wise, dignified women signify the model that the young girl identifies herself with during the progress of growing up. (The quote too long, and interpretation not well supported.)

Quotation 21

5. separated and indented vs. Integrated example 2 Correction

Right after the princess is born, she starts to explore her self-identity, one major moment of which is her birthday. For her birthday, the king invites twelve fairies because he only had twelve plates. At the end of it, the fairies gives the princess such intangible gifts as virtue and beauty. The one fairy that was not invited came and, instead of a gift, gave the princess a curse: falling dead upon being pricked by a spindle. These fairies, on a symbolic level of the princess’ self-exploration, represent what the princess desires and/or develops in her identity as she grows up:

beauty, virtue, as well as curiosity for the unknown.

Quotation 22

Ellipsis

Improper: Besides, in “this is my greatest performance and all of the actresses who won my parts will say….” The life for women is like to play a role for performance; life is an image for others. Even when one of the women disappears, there are still many women eager to take her role.

Meaning incomplete (like some email writings. )

Quotation 23

Ellipsis -revised

Another source of constraint in this woman’s life is that of playing roles, of which even her death is one. Upon her death, the other “actresses” who will take over her role praise it by saying: “how wonderful to let yourself go that mad, how wonderful [. . .] ,“ as if it were a matter of performance on the stage.
