2. finger quotes (informal speaking), shows irony, “scare quotes”
verbal irony – say the opposite of what we mean

Trump is the “greatest” president since Lincoln. – you know that I feel this way, likely feel the opposite way
3. reported speech -direct speech
John said, “Come over at 9 o’clock.”
My mother told me, “Always be nice to your sisters.”
indirect speech
John said to come over at 9 c’clock. – not his exact words, just his meaning
My mother told me to always be nice to my sisters. – not exact words, the import of her meaning
Your examples:
Once my mother said, "If you can't respect yourself, you should not expect it from others." That hit me hard.
hit me hard – meant a lot to me, affected me
When her grandmother died, it hit her hard.
Al said, "Sentences are the essentials."
4. quoting from a text
incorporating text (words) from a outside source into our own writing
USING QUOTATIONS
Here are some key points to remember when using quotations:
1) Incorporate quotations into your sentences. We can’t just copy from a story.
2) Keep quotations to a few words (1-4 words, approx.). Quotations are like salt in food: a little bit gives flavour; too much ruins the dish.
3) Use quoted material to support your points.
4) Don’t use too many quotations. Pick two or three quotations to support your brainstormed points and leave the rest.
5) Make sure the quoted material is exactly as written in the story. Use … and [] to make minor grammatical or stylistic changes.
6) Avoid repeating quotations.
7) After quoting material, go on to explain why the quotation is relevant.
8) Avoid ending paragraphs with quotations.
Why does Maylin love to cook?
“make them smile”
“worked to renew their spirits”
Maylin loved to cook for a few reasons. First, her customers were people who had difficult lives; therefore, she loved to “make them smile” after they finished their hard day of work.
I incorporated a few words into my own sentence.
She wanted to “renew their spirits” though her delicious cooking.
I incorporated a few words into my own sentence.
That’s what we’re doing.
If it was from a long story or a book, then you could add page numbers.
She loved to “make them smile” (1) after they finished their hard day of work. She wanted to “renew their spirits” though her delicious cooking.
Using quotations – not copying sentences from a book, more precise work than that
Practice: Create a few (3-4) sentences of your own that incorporate a few quoted words from “Roses”. Don’t write a paragraph – these are separate one-off sentence.
For example:
“special banquet”
To celebrate the governor’s arrival, Maylin cooked a dish for the “special banquet” that was to be help in the governor’s honour.
“best clothes”
All of Maylin’s family members dressed in their “best clothes” when they went to see the governor.
Email those to me today. An extra HW point.
