"Many  writers  shy  away  from  summarizing—perhaps  because they  don’t  want  to  take  the  trouble  to  go  back  to  the  text  in question and wrestle with what it says,..." (pg 30)

"Quoting someone else’s words gives a tremendous amount  of  credibility  to  your  summary  and  helps  ensure  that  it is fair and accurate."

I found this quote to be engaging, in order for a summary to be believed you need to have credibility. Seeing that we can be very biased when writing a summary having credibility like quotes can help the writer (us) be able to create balance. I always thought that quoting was my credibility.

I chose this quote out of this page because its the opposite of what we are taught in school or in an English class. We are taught to summarize, summarize and summarize, but many students may find it hard because they might not know what to say. One has to go back and forth with whatever the person is reading. It's hard to put many words into a short summary without being biased or not providing all the necessary information or making sense.

"to challenge standard ways of thinking, and thus to stir up controversy. This point may come as a shock to you if you have always had the impression that in order to succeed academically you need to play it safe and avoid controversy in your writing, making statements that nobody can possibly disagree with."
Why are people so scared of controversy and expressing their opinions? We don't all have to agree on each other statements. I chose this quote because in this generation everything is controversial if someone doesn't agree with you, but in writing being controversial is what makes one think. It challenges the reader to disagree or even agree.

"For us, the underlying structure of effective academic writing—and of responsible public discourse—resides not just in stating our own ideas but in listening closely to others around us"
Being able to listen to other people and their ideas is how one can be more elaborate in their academic writing. It allows us to expand our ideas beyond just our brain. I chose this quote because often English teachers tell students to always listen and share ideas with other students to expand your thinking. Can others ideas make our academic writing bad?

"It  may  be  boring  list  summaries  like  this  that  give  summaries in  general  a  bad  name  and  even  prompt  some  instructors  to discourage their students from summarizing at all." (pg 36)

"Before you can select appropriate quotations, you need to have a sense of what you want to do with them—that is, how they will support your text at the particular point where you insert them. " (pg 43)

I took this quote as a tip for my future summary writings. When I read I never think about which quotes can support what I need to say or summarize. I don't plan when I pick a quote to support my summary. Rather I pick a quote and mold it into how I want it to fit in my summary. Now I notice that I can be very biased when selecting quotations that support my writing.

I disagree with this quote that it's a long list of summaries that discourage kids from doing them. Rather I think that its because we don't know how to properly read an article and keep in mind the focus of it to be able to write a summary. We know that summary contain important key points about what is being read but with so much information its hard not to list and list again without being to fully explain or comprehend what is happening.

"“quotation sandwich,” with the statement introducing it serving as the top slice of bread and the explanation following it serving as the bottom slice." (pg 46)

"good  summaries  require  a  balance  between  what  someone  else has said and your own interests as a writer." (pg 37)

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this quote because its a simple tip into how to properly use a quote. Introducing (top) and explaining (bottom). The sandwich method will help me correctly write a summary with quotes or just use quotes and create connections.

I have never been taught that a summary had to include my own interest. I find this quote interesting because it's my first time learning what a balanced summary is. The way I got this information or the way I interpreted was that I need to be able to create connections to myself as a writer and the writer whose work I am summarizing.

"It is better to risk being overly explicit about what you take a quotation to mean than to leave the  quotation  dangling  and  your  readers  in  doubt." (pg 49)

This quote about "overly explaining quotes is better than having a small explanation" is very conflicting to me. If a writer over explains something it makes the reader bored but if a writer doesn't explain something it leaves the reader wondering and clueless. So the question is what is the right amount of explanation? How can I explain a quote without having to bore the reader? I wish this quote would provide more of an example to which extent this hack or tip would work.
