2. What is a quote sandwich? A way of incorporating your quotes smoothly into your writing and explaining the quote.

3. Why a SANDWICH? You can’t have a sandwich without the two pieces of bread surrounding the “meat”.

4. How do I start? First, you need to introduce your quote. Never just “throw” a quote into your writing. Bad Example: Equality showed the Transgression of Preference throughout the novella. “We wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24). Why is this a BAD EXAMPLE?

5. How do I start? Bad Example: Equality showed the Transgression of Preference throughout the novella. ________________“We wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24). DO NOT start a sentence with a quote. Good Example: Equality showed the Transgression of Preference throughout the novella. At one point, he said, “We wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24). Better Example: Equality showed the Transgression of Preference several times throughout the novella by saying things like, he “wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24).

6. Now we have the top bun…. Good Example: Equality showed the Transgression of Preference throughout the novella. At one point, he said, “We wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24).

10. So now…all we need is the bottom bun… The explanation of the quote… Equality showed the Transgression of Preference several times throughout the novella by saying things like, he “wished to be sent to the Home of the Scholars” (Rand 24).

Here, Equality is saying that he prefers to be given the job in the Home of Scholars over all the other jobs. If the council knew what he was thinking, he would get into trouble for having a preference.
