writing a paragraph - borrows a few words from the text
stepmother
Originally, the stepmother was brought to Canada to be wifely company to the father.
wifely company - not our words, borrowing those words, use " "
Originally, the stepmother was brought to Canada to be "wifely company"(6) to the father.
*incorporating quoted material into our paragraph
We're not copying out sentences.
2,3,4 words, that's it - incorporate
Incorporate - has to be grammatical, have to fit into your sentence or your sentence has to fit around them
GRAMMATICAL - reads as a sentence
Originally, the stepmother was brought to Canada to be "wifely company"(6) to the father.
NOT GRAMMATICAL- not incorporated
Originally, the stepmother was brought to Canada to be a girlfriend to the father: "wifely company"(6).
You have notes to work from.
What words do you quote?
"the" "at" not special words
quote words that are special, unique, words that you would not normally use
"broad sallow moon"(41)
Although Jook Liang felt disappointed by the "broad sallow moon"(41) in the mirror, she was still determined to dance her best for Wang Bak.
In a paragraph for Eng 11 (125w), just a few quotations should be enough. (3-4 short ones)
"concubine" The only reason I'm using it is because it's in the text.
dress
"too-large taffeta dress"(41)
Jook Liang loved her "too-large taffeta dress"(41) because it reminded her of Shirley Temple.
Incorporate quoted material into your sentences.
Avoid long quotations.

I'll ask you two questions about Part 1 of JP. You choose which one you prefer.
When the teacher asks you to include quoted material, they have to let you have the book open for reference.
