DROPPED QUOTES
Example of a
Dropped
Quote
Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois,
and had three siblings. “Hemingway was an
abusive drunk.” He eventually moved to Kansas
City and worked as a cub reporter. Hemingway
then moved to Toronto and then onto Europe,
where he met up with his literary counterparts.
This is where his excessive drinking habits and
violent behavior took form.
Example of an
Integrated
Quote
Dr. Fenstermaker, a renowned Hemingway
expert and tenured professor at Harvard
University, said, “Hemingway was an abusive
drunk” (Smith 54). By this, he suggests that
Hemingway used alcohol not only to incite his
bitter rage, but also as a conflagrant to burn the
bridges between himself and his mentors. This
supports the stance that Hemingway did all he
could to break the ties with those who taught
him the craft.

Parenthetical Citations
(Banks 121)
Banks is a quick reference to the works cited
page.
121 is the page that the quoted material is found
in Banks’ work.
***In order to know what to put in a parenthetical, it is
always the first part of a works cited entry:
Banks, Miranda. “Teen Themes.” Television Saturation. Ed.
Joseph McCullin. Boston: Pearson, 2013. 118-94.
Print.
Parenthetical Citations
(Banks, par. 12)
Sometimes sources provide paragraph numbers and
not page numbers. In this case, you will use the above
parenthetical.
(Banks)
Sometimes sources do not provide page or paragraph
numbers, which usually indicates an inadequate
source. Nevertheless, the parenthetical will look like
this one and n. pag. will be found in the works cited
entry.
Parenthetical Citations
(“The End is Near” 48-51)
Sometimes sources do not provide an
author, which can usually be a sign of a bad
source. Nevertheless, the parenthetical still
follows the same rule.
***In order to know what to put in a parenthetical, it is
always the first part of a works cited entry:
“The End is Near.” Propagandist Weekly. Ed. Brenda
Johnson. New York: Holt Publishing, 2011. 34-95.
Print.
In-Text Citations with Standard
Quotes
Alex Wright, director or User Experience
and Product Research at The New York
Times, said, “[O]ral tradition means more
than just talking” (357).
When the author of the quote is the same as
the author of the article/book from which
the quote is found, you do not need to
include the last name of the author inside of
the parenthetical; all you need is the page
number where the quote was found.
Ellipses & Brackets
Ellipses are used to show information has been removed
or omitted from a quote, refer to pages 331-33 in the
Little, Brown Compact Handbook.
(Example found on Block Quote slide)


Brackets clarify pronoun and noun usage and/or can
correct verb tense issues. Page 334 in the Little, Brown.
Original:
“He is considered the forefather of modern thought and the
theory of naturalism” (Jones 824).
Clarified with Brackets:
“[Freud] is considered the forefather of modern thought and
the theory of naturalism” (Jones 824).
“He [was] considered the forefather of modern thought and
the theory of naturalism” (Jones 824).
Brackets
“He is considered the forefathr [sic] of
modern thought and the theory of
naturalism” (Jones 824).
***As you can see the word “forefathr” is misspelled.
When this occurs in the work that you want to quote, you
cannot fix it for the original author. However, you also do
not want the professor to think that you made the spelling
error. In this instance, you will input [sic] after the error to
indicate the mistake was published/printed in this
manner.

Symbolism
Layers of Meaning
What Symbols Stand For
• A symbol is often an ordinary
object, event, person, or animal to
which we have attached
extraordinary meaning and
significance.
Culture
• “system of symbols or signs endowed
with general and abstract meaning”
(White)
Language = symbol
❖
Language is purely human and non-instinctive
method of communicating ideas, emotions and
desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols
(Sapir, 1921).
❖
Language is a system of arbitrary, vocal symbols
which permit all people in a given culture, or other
people who have learned the system of that culture to
communicate or to interact (Finocchiaro, 1965).
Language in terms Culture
We use a rectangle of dyed cloth
to symbolize a country.
• We use a picture of
a skull and
crossbones to
symbolize poison
or danger.
• We send red roses
as a symbol of
love.
Where Do Symbols Come From?
• Symbols can be inherited or invented
• The most familiar symbols have been
inherited, meaning, they have been
handed down over time
Public and Inherited Symbols
• For example: no one
really knows who first
thought of using a lion
as a symbol of power,
courage and
domination
• Once these qualities
were associated with
the animal, images of
lions appeared on
flags, banners, coats
of arms and castle
walls
• The lion became a
public symbol that
shows up in art and
literature, even today!
• Can you think of some
examples of how lions
are used as a symbol
of courage and power?
People through out history have endowed
ordinary objects with meanings far beyond their
simple meaning.
A crown symbolizes
royalty
Five linked
rings
symbolize
the
Olympics
Invented Symbols
Writers often take a new object,
• Symbols can also be invented.
character, or event and make it
• What is the symbol for our school? the embodiment of some human
concern.
Some invented symbols in
literature have become so widely
known that they often have
gained the status of public
symbols.
For example:
Peter Pan is a
symbol for eternal
childhood
Why Create Symbols?
You may ask why writers don’t just come right out and
say what they mean.
• Symbols allow writers to suggest layers and layers of
meaning-possibilities that a simple, literal statement
could never convey.
• A symbol is like a pebble cast into a pond: It sends out
ever widening ripples of meaning
How do I know if it’s a symbol?
• Repeat appearance
• Seem to be connected with a character
or event
• Author spend long time on description
What Are Some More Symbols
Here we have a picture of a
serpent (snake) and an apple.
What are some things that come
to mind when you see this
image?
Often times, a serpent or snake is used to symbolize
temptation or trouble. This allegory stems from it’s biblical
reference.
What does the apple stand for?
Symbolism
• A symbol is a word, place, character, or
object that means something beyond what it
is on a literal level.
• An ordinary object, event, person, or animal
to which we have attached extraordinary
meaning and significance.
• Leslie White.- “Culture consists of a system of
symbols or signs endowed with general and
abstract meaning”
