Direct Quotation

Within a Sentence

• Example
• Hobbits are creatures of comfort and although
  they live in the ground they do not live in a
  nasty, dirty wet hole, filled with the ends of
  worms and an oozy smell (Tolkien 3).

11
Within the Paragraph

• Example

Note the Formatting

• Blah blah blah blah
• Titanic, the largest vessel in the world
  when she entered
• service in 1912, was neither the finest nor the
  most technically
• advanced of her day. Size, seldom an indication
  that something
• is better, was the only record she held. The
  ships that Titanic, and
• her slightly older sister Olympic, were
  designed to compete with
• were the Cunard liners Lusitania and
  Mauretania, which entered
• service in 1907. (Louden-Brown 35)
• Blah blah blah double blah.
