quotation

Graff states " Since quotations do not speak for themselves, you need to build a frame around them in which you do that speaking for them." (Graff 2011).  I agree with this statement because in most people writing, a quote will be added and then not followed up with the writers opinion on that quote.  It will usually be left to the readers interpretation.  The reader cannot always correctly interpret one quote becasue they did not read the entire article the quote came from.  That is why when using a quote you must state what the author is intending to say and follow up on your take on the quote so as not to leave the reader hanging.
