In my essay Cooking In America, which is the Meal Analysis Essay, I used a variety of quotes that ranged from my peers to Michael Pollan, who is the author of “Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch.” I used these sources to shape my argument and prove what I was trying to say true. I used Michael Pollan’s essay to prove my point multiple times in this essay. This is one time: I was discussing the level of laziness that people have acquired and I used the quote “As Pollan demonstrates “Cutler and his colleagues demonstrate that as the ‘time cost’ of food preparation has fallen, calorie consumption has gone up, particularly consumption of the sort of snack and convenience foods that are typically cooked outside the home” (Pollan 19). This is showing that people are consuming more food that isn’t being prepared by themselves. David Cutler proved this previous statement true. He found that more people are sitting around eating food that is speedy to make or going out to eat more often rather than actually preparing their own meals.” This is showing how I sandwiched the quote. I made sure whenever I was using a quote in my essays that I used, as They Say I Say says it, “sandwiched” my quotes as well as I possibly could by introducing where the quote was from, the actual quote, and then explaining why the quote was significant to the essay and what it was trying to explain in that area. As I explained in journal 3 from They Say I Say about the sandwiching of quotes “The things that I found helpful was in the section framing every quotation. I found this helpful because it is teaching how to actually frame a quote. The templates for introducing a quotation is helpful because it gives examples how to frame the quotes.” I feel like this was very important part to integrating quotes.
