Test#4 “The Ninny” paragraph Thursday
“ “ quoting from a story
1.
Quote only a few words. If you quote a whole sentence,
or more than a few words, that’s not right.
If you writing 10 page papers, you can
quote longer passages; however, for a 150-200 word paragraph you must keep the
quotations to just a few words.
Goal: choose 1-4 words to quote.
2.
Incorporate the quoted word into you writing. Make the
quoted words fit into your sentence.
e.g. “fine food”
Maylin worked very hard to cook “fine food” for her customers.
Maylin worked very hard to cook well for her customers: “fine food”.
XXX NO!
The quoted words must be part of the sentence.
Let’s see some of your example from homework:
1.
The governor “eyes lit up” when “Roses Sing on New
Snow” arrived on his table.
The governor’s “eyes lit up” when Roses Sing
on New Snow arrived on his table.

10.

FIX
Even though Maylin’s father doesn’t treat her well, she
never gave up on being a cook because she “loved food.”
12.
Her father “hung his head in shame”, because He didn’t
cook the food. punc cap
Her father “hung his head in
shame” because he didn’t cook the food.
That is a really good start with quotations.
You really have to start focusing on the details such as
punc and cap.
For our paragraph on Thursday, I want you to put a few quotations
into your writing. You can look at the story. If a teacher wants you to quote a
few things, they have to let look at the story. Nobody expects you to remember
the exact words of the story.
In a 150-200 word paragraph, who many quotations would be
good?
One is not enough. If you have 3-4 points, then 3-4 short
quotations should be perfect.
Like spicy peppers in food, a little goes a long way. Just a
few is enough.
Use “ “ for this
class.

and cultural differences when she asked him about two people being able to create
“identical paintings”. She wanted him to understand that cooking was much more
than just mixing ingredients together.
The test on Thursday will be on “The Ninny”
The Ninny
“standing on ceremony”- ceremonial,
too polite to ask,
He owes her money, but she is too polite to ask for it.
He owes her wages, and he should pay her. He doesn’t pay her
because she does not ask for her money.
He is abusing his power as a boss by not paying her on time
and what she is owed.
He is taking advantage of her politeness.
“nitwit” “ninny” “spineless” – insults, fool, dummy, no backbone,
allows themselves to be pushed around, allows people to take advantage of them,
allows people to mistreat them
This is a story of human nature.
Common struggle for many people- learning to be assertive,
learning to stand up for yourself

“Yulia Vasilyevna blushed and picked at the trimmings of her
dress”

red

nervous
self-soothing
This speaks to Yulias’s state of mind. She is nervous and distressed
by this man’s actions. She is very anxious.
The terrible thing is that this man is doing it on purpose.
He is intentionally trying to make her feel ill-at-ease.
This is what I
despise about this character, the man; that he is using his
position of power
to intimidate this young woman who is relatively
powerless, at
least compared to him.
