The document explains how to construct a quote sandwich, which is used to analyze a quote from a text. A quote sandwich has three parts: context, the quote itself, and analysis. The context provides background on where the quote is from and what is happening. The quote should not be too long and must include proper punctuation and citation. The analysis interprets the quote and explains how it supports the overall point being made. An example quote sandwich is provided to illustrate these three components.

How to make a quote sandwich
A quote sandwich has 3 main parts 1. Context 2. Quote 3. Analysis
An example of a quote sandwich ? When Davy shoots the goose, Reuben describes his brother¡¯s expression as, ¡°on his face is nothing at all but the knowledge that the goose is his¡± (Enger 16). This scene, and Reuben¡¯s description of it, foreshadows the scene where, with equal calmness and confidence, Davy shoots and kills Tommy Basca and Israel Finch. Etc.
1. Context ? Where in the story the quote is from ? Which character said or thought it ? What is happening at that moment Example: When Davy shoots the goose, Reuben describes his brother¡¯s expression as, ¡°on his face is nothing at all but the knowledge that the goose is his¡± (Enger 16). This scene, and Reuben¡¯s description of it, foreshadows the scene where, with equal calmness and confidence, Davy shoots and kills Tommy Basca and Israel Finch. Etc.
2. Quote ? Should not be too long ? Should not merely state a fact ? Must be punctuated correctly ? Must be followed by the correct citation Example: When Davy shoots the goose, Reuben describes his brother¡¯s expression as, ¡°on his face is nothing at all but the knowledge that the goose is his¡± (Enger 16). This scene, and Reuben¡¯s description of it, foreshadows the scene where, with equal calmness and confidence, Davy shoots and kills Tommy Basca and Israel Finch. Etc.
2.5 Punctuating the quote ? Mrs. Arcaro said, ¡°the quote will start with a lower case letter if you lead into it¡± (Arcaro 4). ? The author and page number will be in parenthesis after the quote. ? The period goes after the parenthesis.
3. Analysis ? Your interpretation ? Explain how it proves your point ? Describe what the quote reveals Example: When Davy shoots the goose, Reuben describes his brother¡¯s expression as, ¡°on his face is nothing at all but the knowledge that the goose is his¡± (Enger 16). This scene, and Reuben¡¯s description of it, foreshadows the scene where, with equal calmness and confidence, Davy shoots and kills Tommy Basca and Israel Finch. Etc.
